When my son & daughter were younger in Cub/Girl Scouts I did a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey using a compass.

Put the "donkey" on a wall - I just used a post-it. That is the target.

Teach the child to point the compass at the target and turn the dial until the needle is boxed.

Put a sheet over the child.

Turn the child around telling some cool story about them getting stuck in a fog or snow storm and such.

With the sheet still on and leaving the compass dial alone, have them rotate their body until the needle is once-again boxed.

Then have them follow the direction of arrow while holding another post-in out in front of them ... until they hit the wall with the target (the donkey).

They seemed to enjoy it.
