Pin the Tail on the Donkey is a classic children's party game. A picture of a donkey is tacked on a wall and each participating child is given a paper tail. Each player takes turns being blindfolded and spun around a few times before having to make their way to the donkey picture to try to place the tail on the donkey as accurately as possible. The child whose donkey tail is the most accurate on the donkey picture wins the game.
