To play the pull-string pinata game, line up children. Each child gets a turn pulling a string from the pinata. The only string that will release the candy is the one that you put through the trapdoor. The other strings will simply come off. When the candy is released, each child can grab a handful, and you can throw out additional candy as well, or provide each child with a goody bag. Some parents opt to tie a piece of candy to the end of each ribbon so each child is rewarded as he or she pulls the string off the pinata, even if the trapdoor is not opened. Have fun!
