I need to wrap up a pass the parcel for a bunch of 4/5 yo boys, party theme is dinosaurs & volcanoes. Has anyone got any ideas for forfeits to put between each layer eg roar like a dinosaur. Actually that's my best idea so you can see how much help i really need on this one, TIA

You could get them to walk like a dinosaur, or pretend to be a volcano erupting.

Failing that, skip the forfeits and put a sweet/gift in each layer.

Much easier!!!

have animal noises as a theme, make a cat, dog noise etc they'll love that!

Be a dinosaur laying an egg / eating dinner

You could just have joke ones like 'be a dinosaur getting dressed in the morning' 'be a dinosaur brushing its teeth'

Are you quite sure you want to encourage a load of 5 year olds to sit around making dinosaur noises, though?

they'll expect a little toy between each layer IMO so everyone is a winner

OK i have done it now, pinched your ideas F&Z and added a small wrapped chocolate to each forfeit to keep the rest of you happy. Thanks for your help.

Update: the boys loved the pass the parcel, especially the joke forfeits, they all joined in, imagine 8 of them pretending to me laying a dino egg. Afterwards i sat down with large glass of wine & the telegrapgh, only to find that F&Z is famous!! I was so excited i confessed my MN habit to DH immediately...you know the pass the parcel..blah..blah.ideas for forfeits ...MNetters are fab...pass the bottle. I love it here.
