Pin the Tail on the Donkey
Probably one of the most popular blindfold games is Pin the Tail on the Donkey. An image of a donkey is set on a wall a few feet from participants. Players are given a "donkey's tail" with a pin stuck through it and then, one by one, blindfolded and spun around at least three times. They must then grope about and try to pin the tail on the donkey's behind. The player that pins the tail closest to the donkey's rear end wins. This is a good game for children, teenagers or adults and is generally non-competitive.
Shoe Scramble
Another game involving blindfolds is the Shoe Scramble. Players are paired in two's and sit in rows facing each other. One row is blindfolded, and the other takes their shoes off and throws them into a pile in between the two rows. Those blindfolded must attempt to find their partner's shoes. Teammates can verbally coach partners only by saying thing such as "No, that's the wrong shoe", or " Yes, you got it!". The blindfolded players s must then tie the shoes back on their partners' feet. The first "pair" to do this wins the game.
Body Guess
This one is for the adults, especially couples. Males and females are split into two groups, and one group is blindfolded. Both groups are shuffled around and lined up in rows facing each other. The blindfolded players must then try to identify who is standing in front of them by feeling their bodies, hence the name. Those being felt cannot say anything or give any clues as to who they are. An option for the unblindfolded players is to allow them to use a gentle sweep of a hand to guide the blindfolded players away from certain body parts.
