Hospitals can be very intimidating atmospheres…especially for children enduring short-term or extended hospital stays. These environs often do not exhibit comfortable attributes for sick and healing children to FEEL AND ACT LIKE CHILDREN! The goal of this activity is to prepare piñatas, stuffed with gifts, toys and games to donate to children who are enduring hospital stays. The end result is a meaningful and memorable donation of heartwarming gifts for children in a local hospital who can use some serious cheering up!
 
During this two-hour activity, teams start with an empty piñata shell and a "Team Activity Packet". Working together, teams must complete fun medical-oriented tasks such as "Operation", "Wound Dressing Relay", and the "Organ Transfer" to earn enough points to purchase the materials needed to design and decorate their piñata. Teams are racing against the clock to complete their tasks and to make the most creative piñata for children in need of a smile.
 
Impact 4 Good partners with local children's hospitals at the site of your event to donate the piñatas, as well as coloring books that each team is a part of designing. At the end of the activity, a representative from the benefitting hospital can be present to accept the donation and thank the group for their teamwork in completing these wonderful gifts. You can be certain that your efforts will bring cheer to children that need it most!
