- Children, especially the really small ones, are likely to make a mad dash to get their hands on whatever they can get once the piñata breaks. In the ensuing havoc, someone may get hurt. One of the ways to avoid this is to 'cordon off' a section where the child is swinging at the piñata. That way, once broken, you can still try to maintain some control once the initial excitement is over.
- It's inevitable that some kids will get more than others, especially if you have a mix of ages at your party. To stave off disappointment, tantrums, and tears, it would be thoughtful if you put in a bagful of goodies for each child. That way, everyone gets their share and no one's unhappy.
- Another thing to keep in mind when filling the piñata is to make sure that you put in items that will not break when they fall from a height, or things that are heavy and may hurt someone when they fall.
- Keep other children at a safe distance from the player to keep accidental hits at bay.
- If you're unsure about kids hitting it until it breaks, for less boisterous ideas, you can try the pull-string variety before you turn to other party games. In this case, the piñatas have a number of decorative ribbons which hang from the base, one of which when tugged, opens it up. This is a good option for very little children who might not have the strength to break it open completely.
