Everyone knows such ancient folk games as “Salki” and “Gorelki” well and loves to play them, despite their venerable age. What is so attractive about the games that entertained our grandparents? The fun that has reached modern people is liked by the fact that almost everyone, both adults and children, can play them. An important element in them is the independence of game actions from the number of players: you can play with two participants, or with a large group, the effect of the game will be equally positive. The rules of such ancient games are simple and accessible even to a preschool child, and do not require labor-intensive preparation. That is why they have not lost their attractiveness and are easily passed on from generation to generation. The game of forfeits is one of these ancient pastimes and is still interesting to everyone who has ever taken part in it. Despite the simplicity of the actions, it develops imagination, attentiveness, promotes verbal communication, and teaches to obey the rules of a collective game.

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.

Rules old and new
Old version. 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 some small object on a plate (or in a bag, whichever is more convenient for you) , belonging 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.
Fanta tasks for children 10 years old
- Let the child hold his nose and say something. It is desirable that in this phrase he praises himself for his unusually beautiful voice.
- Let the child make an angry or aggressive expression on his face, and then suddenly approach one of the relatives and say menacingly: “Oh, where are you?” This will cause confusion in the person at first, but he will not be able to help but smile when he realizes that he is simply being played in this way.
- Ask your child to imitate the process of how mom puts on makeup. At the same time, do not give him real cosmetics, let them be imaginary.
- Ask your child to name as quickly as possible the names of all family members or those he sees in front of him.
- Let the child put on some of his own costume, which is already too small for him, and dance the dance of the little ducklings.
Why is all this necessary?
Many people (let’s not point fingers, but most often these are not our most positive comrades) sometimes ask the question - why all these competitions? Usually I get off with jokes or answer seriously that otherwise it will be boring. In fact, the reason, of course, is not boredom. Any holiday for adults most often involves alcohol, and so that guests are not too zealous with breastfeeding, they need to be a little distracted, amused, and simply encouraged to dance.
Another important aspect is embarrassment, which is something I often encounter when throwing a party for my children or nephews. They have already passed the age when you can just come up and start playing together, and when children who are strangers to each other find themselves in the same company, you need to help them overcome a slight chill in communication.
The only place where you can do without additional entertainment is a youth party in a good club, where it’s not boring for adults even without fun competitions, and it’s better to help any group of adults spend time with pleasure and fun.
Preparation
Don't think that you can prepare the entire party, including table games for adults, at the last second. I usually set aside a few days for this because you will need:
- write a script;
- select competitions for adults;
- find or buy props;
- stock up on small prizes for the winners;
- minimal rehearsal (for example, if it is expected that several large women from the accounting department will compete in bag jumping, then you need to check in advance whether the room can withstand such a scale and whether there is room to turn around).
Ideally, you need an assistant for all this.

- A child can become a journalist for a while so that he can ask all members of his family questions to which he wants to know the answers.

- Let the child try to portray any 8 emotions that you name for him. It’s better not to name sad emotions.
Fanta tasks for children 5 years old

Game “I’ll tell you a secret”
An interesting entertainment for which you need to prepare a little - “I’ll tell you a secret.” What is the essence of the game? Everything is very simple - each of the guests draws cards from a hat with a funny text in verse prepared in advance (you will have to try hard here). All cards begin with the words “I’ll tell you a secret,” and then there are possible options, for example:
- I’ll tell you a secret that I don’t wear underwear, if you doubt it, I’ll show you now;
- I’ll tell you a secret, I’m on a diet, I only eat grass, I don’t look at cutlets.
If you choose active competitions, such as the best dance or running around chairs, make sure that there is enough space around so that people of all sizes feel comfortable.
Do you prefer competitions for a small company? It happens that you need competitions for parties, but you definitely won’t have too big a group, try to play something intimate and not require a large number of people. These could be text games and competitions for a small company, or verbal ones, for example:
- Burim;
- writing a fairy tale line by line;
- forfeits.
Funny forfeits tasks for children
- Let the baby walk some distance in the room with a plastic cup on his head so that he does not fall.
- Invite your child to pretend to be an alarm clock. It will be a funny pantomime.
- Let the children show how the kitten laps milk from a bowl.
- You can invite your child to pretend to be a balloon. It will be interesting to see how he behaves in this character.
- Children can also act out a scene as if they are driving away an annoying insect.
Most likely, at a children's party, parents will not bother coming up with forfeits, but will simply invite animators to entertain the child and his friends. But at home, after dinner, instead of watching TV, you can play forfeits. This will not only entertain your child, but will also strengthen your family relationship.
Funny birthday contests
"Beat the Guy"
A cool competition will fit well into a party of close friends, a bachelorette party on the eve of a wedding.
Several girls are participating. Each of them attaches a long thread (to the floor) to the belt. A matchbox with a photo of a famous actor and singer is attached to a thread. Dynamic music is playing. The contestants' task: without stopping the dance movements, step on the opponent's box in order to tear it off (beat off the guy). The girl who did not save the box is eliminated from the competition. The winner is the one who keeps her “boyfriend” and takes it away from her rivals.
"Clockwork box"
Before the feast, prepare the props: a spacious box. Place a variety of things in it, as much as your imagination allows:
- flippers
- curlers
- bathing cap
- Sunglasses
- robe
- funny headbands
Invite each guest to participate in the lottery, as a result he will receive something from the contents of the box. You will need to perform one dance with the item you receive. The one who completes the task more artistically will win.
After such a competition there will be a lot of cool photos left!
It happens that a motley group of people gather at the festive table for a birthday, where people do not know each other. This can lead to a tense atmosphere at the table.
Fun competitions will save the situation, which will at the same time relieve tension and introduce neighbors at the table.
Transitional button
The competition will fit well into the beginning of the feast. Participants remain at the table. At a sign from the host, one guest places a button on his index finger and turns to his neighbor at the table. The task is to transfer the button to the neighbor’s finger without helping yourself from others. Another object can also serve as a button. A guest whose transfer does not take place is eliminated from the game. The rest of the participants remain in their original places, so soon they will have to pass the button across the entire table. The two remaining participants win.
Storytellers
A random topic can be selected. The first, randomly selected guest pronounces a sentence, for example: “Fyodor went to the store to buy bread.” The participant sitting next to him continues, uttering his own phrase, for example, “In the store, a display case with cereal fell on Fyodor.” So the guests take turns making up a story. It always has an interesting plot and an unexpected ending.
Birthdays are celebrated not only by friends and relatives, but also by the organization where we work conscientiously. At an anniversary corporate party, fun competitions are more than appropriate.
Habitual offender
Contestants, within a limited time (no more than 5 minutes), prepare an explanation for the fact of being late for work. The author of the most fantastic and creative story will win.
Anonymous
Participants receive props:
- newspaper
- scissors
- glue
- blank sheet of paper
Task: in a limited time (no more than 5-7 minutes) compose a short story about the organization using words cut out from a newspaper.
Who is the package for?
Props are prepared in advance: a small souvenir is carefully wrapped in many layers of different paper. The best option is to alternate layers of regular newspaper and beautiful packaging material. Employees pass the parcel to each other, each taking turns removing one layer of packaging. Anyone who comes across a layer of beautiful packaging will scream with joy and then sigh in disappointment. Eventually the participants will start saying: “There is nothing in the package.” The winner will be the employee who gets to the contents - a small souvenir.
Most likely, within a week after the corporate party, he will proudly walk around the office and rejoice. The parcel went to him!
