Please, please help me with forfeits for pass the parcel...

... for very silly works party. Nobody will have done pass the parcel before. It will be held in the afternoon, there will be minimal alcohol and people are quite conservative, so nothing that might involve too much physical contact.

Simple

But I will be eternally grateful

are we talking "walk round the room like a chicken" type silly or are we talking "recite the first two lines by any playwright" type adult sensible stuff?

mangolassi · 18/12/2008 07:04

Definitely silly - different cultures in the room, so needs to be stuff we can all do. Also not everyone's English is great - so really, stuff that 6 year old kids could read and follow.

(I think we're also going to do the chocolate game - you know, with the gloves and hats and knives and forks)

I love the chocolate game

Hmmm will get my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with any silly stuff (and look forward to reading other ideas too as I have a kids christmas parcel to do myself...)

Eat a dry weetabix.

mangolassi · 18/12/2008 07:39

Ooh, no weetabix here but maybe I can find some cream crackers

glass of water and gargle "we wish you a merry christmas"

mangolassi · 18/12/2008 08:53

Thanks. Also have 'act like a chicken till someone guesses what you're doing', same hing with an elephant. Maybe just sing a Xmas song? And a couple of actual 'prizes' before the main prize so people won't know whether or not they want the parcel...

any more ideas?

we always put a sweet/mini choc bar next to each layer as a mini prize for completing the forfeit.
Charades type ones are nice and simple - act out a simple movie title and get the rest to guess within 2 minutes type thing.

put forehead on an upended broom stock and holding on to it with both hands spin around x times?

From my dds bday:
Hop on 1 foot 5 times
Pat your head and rub your tummy
Shake hands with 3 people
Do 10 star jumps
Do 5 press-ups
Balance on 1 leg and count to 10
Pretend to be a chicken with its bottom on fire
Run round the circle and then back to your place
Sing a bit of your favourite song
Make a noise like a sheep
Make a noise like a baby

Grammaticus · 18/12/2008 09:28

Name your favourite .... manager/part of christmas dinner/cocktail/football team/cake

Count to 10 in french

Walk backwards round the room

Choose a person and make them a cup of tea tomorrow morning

mangolassi · 18/12/2008 09:54

These are great! I don't think I understand the broom one... is the bottom of the broom on the floor? It can't be, eh?
