Playing Pinata at a Party

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What is a Pinata and why is every body hitting it with a stick? Prepare your Autistic child for a common birthday activity that may be slightly over-stimulating. This printable book explains what a pinata is and how it is used at a party. Your pupils will gain an understanding of what to expect if they encounter a pinata. Note: Depending on the student, a pinata may not be the best way to celebrate a birthday, trust me.
