Pin the Tails

Searching for a fun theme for a classroom party? Here's a new way to play "Pin the Tail" which is sure to provide your students with a day full of fun!

Variations of Pin the Tail on the Donkey can be made from almost any theme. These ideas all require a target background (a poster) and some objects to tape or pin onto the background. You can make the backgrounds and objects yourself.

Ready to play? Always remember to blindfold and spin your players before aiming them toward the target.

Baseball
The poster is a crouching catcher with an open mitt as the center. Players try to get their baseballs in the center of the mitt.
Sample poster

Rockets
The background poster is a big planet with a space station indicated in the center. See how close to the station players can get their rockets.

Parking Lot
The background poster is a parking lot with plenty of cars and trucks all over it. In the center is one empty parking space. Can the players park a car here without hitting anything?

Bananas
The poster is the top of a big palm tree. There is a space beside a smiling monkey for players to attach a bunch of bananas.
