Cinco de Mayo should be fun for kids, too. Why not make the day extra fun for them with some games they can enjoy? Some games can even be fun for the adults at the party, so go ahead and invite them to participate.
Break the Pinata
Everyone loves to try to break the pinata. Blindfold each participant when it is his or her turn. Slowly spin them around a few times and hand them a bat or broomstick. Point them in the general direction of the pinata and make sure no one gets in the way. Depending on how many people you have lined up to try, you may want to either use a timer or count how many tries each person gets.
Another game that is great for using up pent up energy is the Mexican hat relay. You can draw a sombrero on two different sheets of paper or you can pick up a couple of them at your local party store. Separate everyone that wants to play into two even teams. Place each team’s hat at the far end of the room. One by one, the players must race down to the hat, dance around it in a circle three times, and then race back to tag the next person. The winning team is the first one whose members have all completed the task.
Gather items together, hide them around the house, and have a scavenger hunt. Makes sure that the items are connected to celebrating Cinco de Mayo. You could hide sombreros, dried chili peppers, avocados or other exotic item for teams to find. Be sure to hide enough of each item for all the teams to find. Pairing up kids with adults makes sure everyone gets involved. Give them written clues to help them. The winning team is the first back with all the listed items.
Kids love to color; have enough crayons and coloring books for all to enjoy. Maracas add a fun way to make music and you can throw in some colorful hats and ponchos to help add an air of authenticity to the celebrating.
Cinco de Mayo should be fun for everyone. Provide fun party favors for everyone, young and old. Maracas, inexpensive party sombreros or other fun items will keep the party atmosphere alive. Let the music play and encourage everyone to dance if they want.
Cannot forget food and beverages, of course. Every good party must have food! Choose your favorite Mexican dish. If you are looking to keep things simple, finger foods like quesadilla wedges, nachos, or salsa and chips are good choices. Make plenty of dip for all to enjoy.
You can either make Cinco de Mayo recipes for fun or go authentic. Traditional dishes need to incorporate beans, peppers, corn and other staples in Mexican cuisine. Keep things easy so you can enjoy your guests.
Your Cinco de Mayo party is sure to be a hit with all the fun and games. Take time to plan it out so everyone has a grand old time. It will be well worth all the effort once you see the joyful guests heading back home, wishing the party would not come to a close.
