Ready-made forfeits for a fun company. Game "forfeits"

Forfeits are a well-known and beloved game not only for children, but also for adults. Its rules are so simple that even the youngest participants in a New Year's party can come up with tasks and play the game. The popularity of forfeits lies in the fact that this game is suitable for absolutely any society. Be sure, no matter what company you are in, be it friends, colleagues or relatives, you will spend the New Year 2019 unforgettable.

Reference! Forfeits were played several centuries ago. In some countries, this game was the most central event of any holiday. From German the word “fanta” is translated as “deposit”.

You can play forfeits in different ways:
1.With the help of the presenter. All participants in the game give the person chosen to play the role of the leader any of their things, preferably small in size. All items will be placed in a bag or hat. The presenter's assistant takes turns pulling objects out of the hat, and the presenter, without seeing this object, comes up with a task for the owner of the forfeit. If the owner of the item has completed the task, then his item is returned to him.
2.Using cards. You can play forfeits without a leader. To do this, all members of the exciting show write tasks on pieces of paper. Then the leaves are placed in an opaque bag or bag. They take out forfeits one by one. The one who takes the leaf out of the bag is the phantom. Tasks should be moderately easy and unusual, quickly executable. Don't come up with tasks that are too intimate or dangerous.

By the way! If the fan does not cope with the task, then a fine should be provided for him in this case. Which one is decided jointly. You can, for example, drink a glass of strong drink or pay a monetary “fine” to the general treasury. At the end of the game, the money will go to the most creative player.

3.By drawing lots. First, all participants come up with a task together, and the one who will carry it out will be decided by drawing lots. The lot can be a burning match, which is passed around in a circle. If this method is too dangerous for you, you can use a nursery rhyme.

The essence of the game is to complete the so-called tasks for forfeits. But none of the participants can guess what kind of assignment he will receive.

It is a mistake to believe that this is a game only for children. It is also interesting to play for adults of different ages. And this is a fact already proven by time.

3 Types of Games for Fanta

• With the help of the leader. Players give the presenter any of their things, for example, jewelry, a mobile phone, keys. The presenter puts everything in a special bag, which can be used as an ordinary hat. Now the players take turns taking something out of there and asking: “What should Fanta do?” The presenter comes up with a task for everyone for their forfeit. After finishing the game and completing all tasks, the item can go to its real owner.
• The second version of the game is using cards. All players come up with any funny tasks for forfeits and write them on small pieces of paper. Then everything is mixed and placed in a bag. They take turns and do what is written. When coming up with tasks, do not forget that you can also get on your own card. Therefore, it is better to write what you could do yourself. But you also don’t need to come up with very easy and basic desires, for example, to jump on one leg ten times. This will make the game as uninteresting as possible.
• Forfeits using matches. This type of game is unsafe, so you should not play this way with children. But still it takes place. The players light a regular match and pass it around to each other. The person who puts out the match must complete the task.

Have you already tried all the games? Forfeits are what will help you out.

You can play forfeits indefinitely; fun tasks only fuel the excitement. The age of the players is not limited: adults can also join the children's company, and this will only make the game more fun.

Tasks for forfeits can be distributed in several ways

The classic way is that each participant gives the presenter some small item: a scarf, a pencil, a brooch, a key. All the things are collected in a bag. The presenter’s assistant takes things out of the bag one at a time, and the presenter himself says: “This phantom should do this.”

In this case, the presenter stands with his back to his assistant and does not see whose item is in his hands. And the responsibility to come up with fun tasks for forfeits lies with the presenter.

For a children's group, this option will be difficult. Not every child has some small accessory with him. Not every child will easily come up with witty and fun tasks on the fly. Therefore, it is better to use another method.

The names of the participants are written on the cards and placed in a bag. Cards with tasks for forfeits are placed in another bag.
The host pulls out the player's name, and then a task for him.

Tasks can be written not on cards, but on narrow strips of colored paper, and each strip can be folded into stars. This will add charm to the game and fuel the intrigue, because to find out what is destined for you, you will first have to unwrap the star.

The word phant itself is borrowed from the German language and literally means “collateral.” This wonderful game was first mentioned in the 19th century (for example, Anna Petrovna Kern wrote about it in her memoirs), and its essence is as follows: each participant puts on a plate (or in a bag, whichever is more convenient for you) some small object that belongs to him. This could be a chain with a pendant or a hair clip, lipstick, keys, a small notebook, a keychain, and so on. The presenter must turn away at this moment: he is not supposed to know who owns what item. Then the presenter takes these items one by one, shows them to everyone, and assigns a task that the owner who appears must complete in order to get his property back.

These tasks, as a rule, are simple and humorous, but you can find some benefit in them: the child learns not to be shy about speaking in front of an audience and at the same time develops some of his skills, for example, singing, dancing, reading poetry, and so on.

Second option. This version of the game - the very first, original one - has survived to this day, but others have appeared where neither the leader nor the items pledged are needed. For example: the participants in the game come up with assignments themselves, write them down on pieces of paper, and then the pieces of paper are mixed in a bag, and everyone pulls out an assignment, a “fanta.”

There is another version of the game- for the most desperate, perhaps. In it, participants cast lots, for example, tossing a die, and the one who gets the smallest number must complete the tasks of all other participants in the game. In the next round, accordingly, this person no longer casts lots.

There are a huge number of options for playing forfeits: for children and adults, comic and serious, simple and complex, more or less popular and some especially interesting and unusual ones. Let's look at the options that will be most successful at celebrating a child's birthday.

Is it worth buying the game?

Of course, if there is no time, opportunity and desire, then there is nothing wrong with buying a ready-made game and selecting acceptable forfeits from it. But it is much more interesting to do those tasks that are suitable for the age of the children. You can make them according to the theme of your holiday: on one side there is a picture of Angry Birds, Batman or the princess from Frozen, on the other side there is a task. You can decorate them with stickers or design them as pirate birthday scrolls, or wrap them in lucky stars. There are endless possibilities when you make them yourself.

And the tasks that I may have prepared for you.

Print themed forfeits

I have prepared several of the most popular heroic forfeits among children: ninjago, batman, ninja turtles forfeits. You can save and print them for free. On one side of the sheet you print the “cover”, on the other side of the task. Don't forget to uncheck the "image to frame size" checkbox when sending for printing. Pictures enlarge by clicking. You can print it on thick paper or plain paper, and then stick it on cardboard for strength if necessary.

Funny and cheerful forfeits

When coming up with funny forfeits for participants, it is important not to go too far: no one should leave offended or upset that others laughed at him. If a child refuses to complete some task, do not insist and choose another “forfeit” for him.

So, what funny and fun tasks can you ask participants to do?

Crow loudly (meow, bark, grunt - there are a lot of options);
jump around the table holding a balloon between your knees;
also with a balloon: sit on it so that it bursts;
do ten squats while holding your ears with your fingers and sticking out your tongue;
pronounce your name backwards (for example, Polina - Anilop, Maxim - Miskam);
talk like a robot for five minutes, answering questions from other players;
portray a capricious baby who begs his mother for candy in a supermarket;
hide somewhere (under a table, in a closet, etc.) and sit there for five minutes.

Creative forfeits

Their presence will be especially useful if children are gathered around the table, studying in some creative circles and studios, dreaming of becoming artists, musicians, singers or painters. After all, not everyone dreams of becoming an astronaut and a veterinarian, right?

Options for creative forfeits:

Sing a song (ideally, if it is the birthday boy’s favorite song);
dance, in the middle of the dance inviting the birthday boy to dance;
recite a poem by heart;
draw a portrait of the birthday boy (or one of the other guests);
make up a fairy tale on the fly and tell it
present;
the same thing, only you need to compose a poem.

Developmental forfeits

Combine business with pleasure: some forfeits may well be not only funny, but also educational. Here are some examples:

Depict some mysterious object without words (based on the principle of the game “Crocodile”);
tell us a little about yourself (like at an interview);
tell a little about each of the players, paying special attention to their good qualities;
pronounce a tongue twister three times in a row quickly and without errors;
pick up any item in the room and “sell” it to the birthday person, praising its beneficial properties and positive qualities;
interview the hero of the occasion.

This, of course, is only a small part of the tasks that can be used to play forfeits. You can come up with tasks and write them down on cards in advance, or you can make them up as you go along. The larger and more creative the company is, the more interesting and unusual tasks they can come up with, and the more exciting the holiday will be.
