Have a go at a Piņata, or maybe a good old fashioned Mexican Hat Dance!

There are a lot of popular Mexican games to play during your Fiesta to make it fun.

Loteria is one of the many Mexican games, which is similar to Bingo. Played in a group, each player is given a card with 20 squares filled with pictures. Beans are used as markers to show which pictures on the card have been called. One person is selected to call out the pictures, and that person has a deck of 52 cards with the pictures in them. In this game instead of just calling out the pictures, they make up rhymes about each figure to make it harder to have to guess which one it is, and the first one who fills in all the squares in any direction across, diagonally, or down wins a prize.

One of the most famous of Mexican games is the Mexican Hat Dance. For this game you have to pair each person up with a partner. For the first part of the music you put your hand on your hips and facing your partner, skip to the beat, staying on the spot. For the next part of the music you lock elbows together with your partner and you swing around in a circle first in one direction and then in the other.

Piņata has become a favorite party game for children's birthdays all over the world!

Make sure to give out bags before playing so that the players will have something to put their goodies in. Take turns spinning and hitting the piņata until it is broken, always making sure there are no accidents so there are no hurried trips to a Mexican Pharmacy . In case some problem occurs, Mexican pharmacy is always serve. Collect goodies and enjoy.
