Pin the tail on the donkey is a popular children's party game, first recorded at about the time Queen Victoria was visiting Aix-les-Bains, and still popular today. A picture of a donkey without a tail is drawn on a large sheet of paper attached to a wall. The children are each given a paper tail with a pin. They are then blindfolded in turn and turned round and round to disorientate them before fixing their tails to the donkey.
