New Year, as you know, is a fun holiday, but what New Year's Eve can do without entertainment? One of the most popular games, which both adults and children love very much, is forfeits. The rules are probably known to everyone: each participant draws a card with a task that needs to be completed. You can easily make forfeits for the New Year 2018 yourself. For example, find the templates you like on the Internet, print out the required quantity and write a task on each card. We offer examples of tasks below.

However, I would especially like to highlight the main rule of the game of forfeits: the tasks should not contain anything offensive or offensive to a person, as well as physically impossible or harmful to health. Remember that the tasks should be easy and fun so that they do not take more than five minutes to complete. The cards can be wrapped in candy wrappers and placed in a beautiful box. Now let's look at the different options for forfeit, dividing them into several categories.

New Year's forfeits for friends

When a group of friends gathers at the holiday table, you want to please them not only with delicious dishes and drinks, but also with interesting games. And guests are unlikely to refuse to play such a fun game as forfeits. It will be especially doubly interesting if you prepare forfeits for the New Year 2018 with jokes. Your friends will perform such tasks not only with interest, but will also remember them for a long time with laughter.

• Choose one person from the company and silently depict some famous sculpture with him. For example, “Worker and Collective Farm Woman” or “Peter I on Horseback”.

• In one minute you need to eat pieces of fruit from the plate, while closing your eyes and putting your hands behind your back. After the time is up, say the names of the fruits eaten.

• Portray any famous person without saying a word. It could be a singer, actor, athlete, etc. By recognizable details, guests should understand who it is.

• This forfeit is called “Pass it to someone else.” That is, the participant does not do anything, but in return he must come up with some funny task for the next player.

• In two minutes you need to prepare a cocktail of three ingredients to suit the participant’s taste. With the condition that the resulting drink is tasty - guests should appreciate it.

• Show everyone a children's fairy tale. Select several people from among the guests and portray popular characters in two to three minutes. For example, the fairy tale “Turnip” or “The Three Little Pigs”.

• Within a minute, list ten songs that relate to the New Year. A similar task is to remember ten winter poems in a minute.

• From the products on the festive table, build something related to the New Year (a Christmas tree, a snowman, a garland, etc.) - guests must guess what exactly is depicted.

• In two minutes, have time to show five animals and birds so that the whole company can guess them by their habits. For example, a monkey's antics, an eagle's flight, a cat's washing, a wolf's grin, etc.

New Year's forfeits for colleagues

These options will be very useful to you if you want to make your corporate event at work more interesting. Usually a presenter is invited to such events, but if you and your colleagues decide to do without one, then these tasks will be very useful to you. Fanta for the New Year 2018 will help diversify the holiday by diluting it with funny and comic scenes. But be prepared for the fact that some of them are quite provocative.

• In one minute, list your minor work sins to your boss, “repenting” for losing a pen, spilling coffee on papers, a broken pencil, being late for work, etc.

• Hug everyone present at the corporate party, and say something good to everyone. For example: you are smart, you are kind, you are gallant, you are responsive, you know how to listen, etc.

• In a minute, manage to collect one small item from your colleagues: one has a lighter, another has keys, a third has cigarettes - and so on until you have ten items in your hands.

• Quickly create some tasty dish from food supplies and let those present evaluate it. For example, salad or sliced ​​food. Time to complete is three minutes.

• With your eyes closed, approach at random any person you want to recognize by touch. But don’t give a name, but list the advantages: fashionable, modest, etc.

• And this phantom demands to name one shortcoming of his colleagues, but in a positive form. As an example: absent-minded, forgetful, late for work, silent, etc.

• The participant must list his good qualities, but with a question mark. For example: sociable? Punctual? And colleagues must confirm or deny.

• The player’s task is to imitate any of his colleagues using posture, facial expressions or gestures, and the rest of those present must guess who they are talking about at the moment.

• Sing any song, changing the words to something stupid like “oink-oink-oink” or “yum-yum-yum.” Based on the motive, colleagues must guess which song “sounds.”

• Tell a well-known fairy tale (“Kolobok”, “Turnip”, “The Three Little Pigs”), replacing the names of the characters with the names of the employees. Those present must understand what kind of fairy tale this is.

New Year's forfeits for children

The guys are looking forward to the New Year the most, and not only because of gifts, but also in anticipation of noisy fun. They will really appreciate games with funny tasks! Children of all ages happily take part in such an exciting event. The main thing to consider is that forfeits are intended for children, so the tasks should not be difficult so that any child can cope with them if desired.

• In one minute, tell how the week went, what the participant did, what he did every day, what he ate, what cartoons he watched - everything that the child can remember.

• The player chooses a partner and after a minute they must sing a well-known song together. For example, the duet of a lion cub and a turtle, Ivan the stove-maker and the Princess is something that is understood by heart.

• Whoever gets the next forfeit must fulfill the simple wish of the other player. For example, third from the right. Bring a glass of juice, jump rope, etc.

• The task of this participant is to come up with funny nicknames for himself and the other players and call each other by them until the end of the holiday. Nicknames should be harmless.

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 2020 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.

Fanta for a group of children

You can make your children's New Year's holiday original and memorable with the help of the game "forfeits". As you already know, there are many options for building a game, but for children it is better to choose the simplest one - where there is an adult leader who will draw forfeits and assign tasks. Children will highly appreciate the game where you need to give your item to the presenter and wait with rapture for the personal item to appear from the hat. In addition, this version of forfeits is made easier by the fact that there is no need to require children to come up with tasks and write them down on pieces of paper. Children's tasks are not always feasible, and therefore it is better not to take risks with children's imagination.

Advice! You can use another way of playing for a group of children: cards with the names of the participants are placed in one container, and with tasks in another. The leader first determines who will do the task, and then the task for him.

The main thing in the game of forfeits for children is to designate tasks that are suitable for the age of the participants. This game is not for difficult actions. Everything should happen quickly so that all participants have time to play and no one gets bored.

Fanta for New Year 2017

There are two varieties of this entertainment. The first option looks like this: each participant must give the presenter some small but valuable thing (keys, mobile phone, watch, ring). These will be forfeits. They fold into a small hat or box. Then the presenter draws any phantom at random and asks one of the participants in the game what this phantom needs to do. The owner of this item must fulfill the wish, otherwise he will not receive his “deposit” back.

In the second version, instructions are written on small pieces of paper, which are rolled up and placed in a bag or hat.

Playing forfeits will add variety to the party, and fun tasks will make the holiday unforgettable!

To celebrate the New Year well, you need to think through all the nuances of this celebration! We are talking not only about delicious dishes, interesting drinks, and for the hosts of the party, but also about such an important aspect as New Year's entertainment. These may include competitions, skits, drawings and lotteries. Party hosts write scenarios and rules for such entertainment themselves or look for ready-made options on the Internet.

Of course, not every company will want to stage complex productions or organize team competitions. In this case, adopt a simple and fun game of forfeits. Forfeits, without any doubt, can be called the oldest party game - even the aristocracy of past centuries gladly took part in this simple but very exciting game. The main rule of forfeits is the fulfillment of tasks and wishes of the presenter for the participants, which are determined completely randomly.

You can buy cards for the game or make your own!

To play the game, you need items belonging to the guests (ring, watch, scarf, key, keychain, etc.), placed in a box or hat. Things are taken out of the box by touch, and at the same time the task for the forfeit is announced. You can also write tasks on pieces of paper and invite each participant to determine their own destiny. When creating assignments, consider the composition of the participants. Come up with simple and funny problems that won’t offend or embarrass anyone.

Card templates for playing forfeits

When there is a holiday or some significant event, such as an anniversary, many guests always gather. There are toasts accompanied by the clink of glasses, congratulations to the hero of the occasion, and, of course, a lot of jokes. How can we do without humor at the holiday table?

But to make the fun even more interesting, we suggest using comic tasks for guests at the table, or as they are also called, forfeits. You don’t need to rack your brains and come up with tasks for your guests - use a ready-made solution, already compiled comic tasks that are perfect for such fun events.

1. Let's do it, get a prize

For this competition you need a rope, scissors and some candy. On the candy, or more precisely on the inside of the candy, there is a task and a prize for completing this task. The guests are blindfolded one by one and they cut off the candy. Having unwrapped the candy, they read the task and complete it, and after completing it, they receive the prize that is written there. For example, have a drink with the celebrant at the brooder party and give the celebrant a snack. Or, kiss the husband of the hero of the day and say how much he loves his wife.

2. Goldfish

Friends! Each of us at least once in our lives dreamed of catching a goldfish so that it would fulfill three cherished wishes. And now I offer you this unique opportunity. (The host goes around the guests with a bag containing fish cut out of cardboard. One of them is gold, and offers to choose any of them without looking into the bag. The owner of the “goldfish” has the right to voice three of his wishes and choose them among the cards proposed by the presenter. But before that, he names any “performer” among the guests.) Examples of desires:

I would like now to make a toast in honor of the hero of the day, in which the three words “anniversary” would appear.
I want any item on the table to be presented to the birthday person as a memorable gift with meaning.
I want your neighbors on the right and left to recite a children's poem in chorus.
I want you to shake hands with the hero of the day and jump on one leg to your place.
I want you to sing the tune of a familiar song to the guests, and they guess its name.

3. "Fanta"

Each participant must put one small thing in the box (keychain, pen, hairpin, etc.). This will be called a phantom. The birthday boy turns his back to the presenter, who randomly takes items out of the box and asks: “What is the task for this phantom?” The hero of the occasion must come up with a comic task for everyone, for example, to sing, tell a story, dance, etc. After the box with forfeits is empty, they move on to completing tasks.

4. Variants of the game “Fanta”

The point of the game is to fulfill the so-called tasks for forfeits - the wishes of other players. Moreover, at the beginning of the game, no one knows what wish he will receive. In order for the game to be fun and varied, it is better not to come up with simple tasks. Each forfeit must be exclusive; performing a forfeit must require effort or courage from the player. When organizing long holidays, the program can be diversified with “penalty forfeits” - participants in other games who are unlucky draw cards with tasks and fulfill the wishes of the guests. There are several varieties of the game:

Forfeits with the presenter. In the classic form of this game, each player takes off one item (watch, earring, mobile phone) and puts it in a common bag. The presenter turns away, and the players take turns taking things out of the bag with the words “What should this phantom do?” The presenter assigns each phantom his own task. In the classic version, deposits are not returned to owners until they complete the task.

Forfeits with cards. Each player writes his wish on a piece of paper or cardboard card, after which the cards are shuffled. Next, either the players themselves draw out their phantom tasks, or the presenter distributes cards.

Forfeits with a match. Players sit in a circle, light a match and pass it around the circle. Whoever's match goes out will fulfill the players' common wish.

6. Tasks for forfeits in verse

The hero of the day has traveled a wonderful path,
You can talk about this.
Come up with a title for your memoirs
Which he could write.

Not a complicated phantom, you should know
About this, don’t go to a fortune teller,
And now name five things,
Necessary for fishing

Now you must show
How flexible are you?
Your fantasy is to dance with a chair
Funny and erotic.

Perhaps this role is for you
A little unusual
Your fant - sing a ditty now
Of course, more decently

Your forfeit is quite simple at first glance,
But it will arouse general interest -
Tell us the height of the hero of the day,
And also guess its weight.

You are lucky, you got a simple phantom -
You must stand on your right leg,
And holding my left leg with my hand,
Raise a toast in honor of our hero of the day.

You must drink without reserve
A glass for the birthday girl,
I'll let everyone line up in order
And dance the cancan together

Your phantom is to become a conductor for a short time,
Quickly organize all the guests,
So that, by order of the hero of the day, in chorus
Sing all table songs.

Your forfeit: in the art of achievement
Show your guests to everyone,
Standing in the center of the hall, with an expression
Tell a poem!

As a sign of friendship and mutual respect
To your neighbor or neighbor,
Pour wine and loudly with expression,
Read everything that is on the label.

Your forfeit is successful, let’s say in secret -
Organize a model show,
And comment on the show at the same time,
And recruit fashion models from among the guests.

You need to compose a composition
From fruits on the table "He and She"
Add your own explanations to it
And announce who it’s dedicated to.

You should applaud
For the hero of the day, in her honor
Come up with a fax from the President
In her name and read it.

Such a responsibility, except for you,
No one else can do it.
Your forfeit - on behalf of the guests now
Say “Thank you” to the hostess of the celebration
