HOW TO PLAY
1

Hang the donkey poster on a wall at an accessible height.

2

Blindfold the first player and gently turn them around a few times to disorient their sense of direction.

3

Hand the player a tail and let them feel their way toward the poster, guided by cheers or shouted directions from the group.

4

The player presses or pins their tail onto the poster wherever they believe the donkey's tail should go.

5

Mark or note the spot with the player's name, then repeat for each player in turn.

6

Whoever places their tail closest to the correct spot wins.
