Cinco De Mayo Games For A Great Party

No Cinco de Mayo celebration would be complete without yummy Mexican food, music, colorful Cinco de Mayo Party Supplies, and fun party games.
Party games are just the touch to make your Cinco de Mayo fiesta all the more fun!There is no end to the fun at a Cinco De Mayo party with the addition of games. The children will love playing a fun game called "Mexican Jumping Beans". To play this Cinco de Mayo Party Game, play some music (Mexican music is best) while the kids dance and jump around like little jumping beans. Make the game more fun by suddenly stopping the music when it is least expected.When the music stops, the kids have to freeze. Whoever doesn't freeze is out! Be sure and have a special prize for the winner. Alternately, you don't have to "out" people or give out prizes. Young children will have a ball playing this game and the adults will enjoy watching them.
An all-time winner of a game is "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" in Spanish "Burro". This classic game never fails at a party. Just post a picture of a donkey on the wall, blindfold the player, and let them guess the best they can where to pin the burro's tail. It is easy to find this party game or even make your own. Of course, no fiesta would be complete without a pinata! Store brought piñatas come in all shapes or you can get instructions and materials to construct your own custom ones. Pinatas are popular at children's birthday parties as well as social gatherings in Mexico. You can read the fun book El piñtero/The Piñata Maker, by George Ancona before beginning the pinata game so that the kids know all about pinatas and their background. Pinatas can be filled with candy and small toys, that will delight the children as they try to break it with a stick. You can also find pull-string pinatas for younger children, which only requires for the right string to be pulled before the candy is released.
