Suikawari (スイカ割り, suika-wari; lit. 'watermelon splitting') is a traditional Japanese game that involves splitting a watermelon with a stick while blindfolded. Played in the summertime, suikawari is most often seen at beaches, but also occurs at festivals, picnics, and other summer events. The rules are similar to piñata. A watermelon is placed, typically on a towel or other protection, on the sand. Each participant is in turn blindfolded, spun around three times, and handed a wooden stick, or bokken, to attempt to hit the watermelon; the first to crack it open wins. Other participants or teammates may give the player hints such as left/right or straight ahead. Afterwards the chunks of watermelon produced are shared among participants.
