							| silly tasks for teen students? 
 |  
							| Hello, Could you please tell me the word for silly tasks used in games. They are usually given while playing board games etc. If the student doesn �t know the answer to a question (grammar, vocab etc), s/he must do something silly/ a bit embarassing (put on yellow clothes and sing nursery rhyme "I am little teapot". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b14OeT1gNFo
 
 Do you happen to know a website with a list of such silly tasks (not too embarrasing) for teens?
 
 THANK YOU!

							| Hi Nika:)They are called forfeits and you could do the search "forfeits ideas for teens" Here �s what I �ve found: Put lipstick on the person to your right (blindfolded)Give the person to your left a donkey ride
 Wear a wig for the rest of the game
 Kiss a pillow like its your most fanciable person
 Act like a monkey for 20 seconds
 Sit with an ice cube down your t-shirt
 Get a moustache drawn on you Do a belly danceName seven dwarfs
 Name five parts of the body spelt with only 3 letters.
 Shake hands with everyone
