Instructions
1. Buy or make a pinata ahead of time.
2. On one side of each of the small cards, write simple Spanish words, such as
amigos, el professor, nino, muchacha, and so on.
3. Write the English meaning of each word on the backs of the cards.
4. Cut a hole into the top of the pinata, big enough for a child's hand to reach
inside.
5. Place a blindfold next to the pinata.
6. Each day before language, select a child to pick out the Spanish word for the
day. Tie the blindfold around the child's head and help her reach into the
pinata to remove a card. Make sure that every child gets a turn.
