Game: Pin the Tail on the Donkey (Mexico)


Supplies:

  • A large picture of a donkey
  • a pretend donkey tail
  • pins or tape
  • a blindfold
  • a pen or pencil.

How to Play:

A perennial classic, Pin the Tail on the Donkey is almost a party staple. Before the game, draw a large picture of a donkey without a tail, and place it on a wall where your child can reach it.

Create a pretend tail for the donkey with a pushpin or piece of tape at the top.

Stand the players in line a few feet from the donkey picture.

Explain to the kids that their job is to pin the tail on the donkey but that this job will be tricky because they will be blindfolded.

Then blindfold the first child in line , spin him around three times, hand him the donkey tail, and point him in the direction of the donkey.

When he sticks the tail on the donkey, mark the spot with his name. The child who pins the tail closest to where it belongs wins.
