FORFEITS

1. Many classroom games call for the payment of forfeits by the losers.The aim of a forfeit is to make  students feel rather foolish or to give them a problem to solve. I´ve used them in quizzes, spin-the-bottle and many other competitive games or simply for the sheer fun of executing an order. They could be classified according to the degree of difficulty into Innocent, Average and Diabolical:(We have over one hundred forfeits: too long to include them all here...)
