How to Make Pabitin for Children Party Games

One of the great and fun children party games that I have experienced during my visit in the Philippines is called the “Pabitin”. It is game where couples of sticks being hanged and form of somewhat like a frame that is attached to rope through the ceiling and bunch of foods and toys are being hanged in the “Pabitin”. It is also called the Philippines version of piñata. I wanted to have this game for my niece’s birthday party next month but unfortunately I cannot seem to find where I could go and get one. So what I did was call up my friend back in the Philippines and ask her what the “Pabitin” is made of. Thanks to her she immediately shoot me an email of the materials I will be needing and how to do it. She sent me some pictures too and was generous enough to allow me to use her pictures for this. I’ll attach some below.

Children Party Games – Pabitin

Materials:

8 pieces of stick (2.5” to 3” in length)

Ribbons

Strings or sewing threads

Toys or food (it is all up to you how many you’d like to put in the “Pabitin”)

Scissors and Scotch Tape

First, you need to wrap the sticks with beautiful ribbons or any wrappers that you want. The colorful the Pabitin is, the better. This will most likely look great when it is already hanging from above the ceiling or from a branch of a tree.

Second, you need to make a frame using the sticks. You first lay the first 4 sticks on a flat surface horizontallyand on top of that place the other 4 sticks vertically. Place the sticks about 6 to 7 inches apart from each stick.

Third, tie a knot on each stick. Make sure that they won’t easily break off.

Fourth, put a string on each toys and goodies and tie them to the Pabitin. One toy or goodies on each corner and just basically put the toys anywhere on the frame.

Fifth, hang the Pabitin on a tree branch or on a ceiling with the tied onto it.

 

 

How to Play the Children Party Games – “Pabitin”

You basically have the children under the Pabitin, and then have someone pull up and down the Pabitin using the rope. Kids can start on grabbing every toy and goodies that is on the Pabitin. Isn’t this a great new way for everyone to enjoy on children party games?
