Today in Mexico, breaking a pinatas is not so easy. Before hitting it, each person is blindfolded. Because they can't see the pinatas, they have to be told where to hit it. People give instructions to the person who is trying to hit it. They shout at them to hit hingher or lower, left or right. They sing songs about pinatas and laugh a lot! It is great fun watching children grab the sweets when the pinatas breaks!
