Pass the parcel with forfeits - any ideas?

I remember loving pass-the-parcel with forfeits at parties as a child and now my dd wants it at her 7th party (mixed boys and girls ? quite a crowd) ? anyone had recent experience of this with modern 7 year olds? Do they take to it or are they put out not to have a sweet in every layer? Do they get a sweet for doing the forfeit?
And most importantly:
Any suggestions for good forfeits (my imagination is failing me!)

sing a song
do an impretion

Should get a reward if the forfeit is good enough.

Say a tounge twister

I'm still thinking......

Oh goody, I am doing this tomorrow!

I will be putting forfeits in all layers. On successful conpletion they choose a sweet from a basket.

OK I've just done mine. Pinched some ideas from here and some of my own...

Say all the colours of the rainbow
Say the alphabet as fast as you can
Pretend to be an animal. Everyone will guess what you are.
Close your eyes and name 6 people at the party.
Rub your tummy and pat your head.
Sing a nursery rhyme
Say the names of 5 countries
Hop around the circle
Name 5 things you would find in the kitchen
... and bathroom
Hold your breath for 10 seconds
Skip backwards round the circle

Hope your party is a success
