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 dance
Name seven dwarfs
Name five parts of the body spelt with only 3 letters.
Shake hands with everyone
