About the activity
Step 1
Preparation: Draw or print out an image of a donkey, minus the tail. Then draw or print out a number of donkey tails, cut around them and stick blu tack on the back so they can be fixed onto the donkey. Hang the donkey picture on the wall, at roughly eye-level to the players.
Step 2
Blindfold the first player, hand them a donkey tail and spin them around gently three times.
Step 3
Guide the blindfolded player in the general direction of the donkey, allowing them to make their own way to the wall, to place the tail on the donkey.
Step 4
Mark the spot where the player has placed the tail with their name.
Step 5
When every player has had a turn, the one whose donkey tail is closest to the correct position wins.
