Double Dutch on an acupressure mat
The more physical issues you have, the more painful foot reflexology tends to feel, and it can be a good opportunity to think about your condition.
In this challenge, you’ll try doing double under jumps while standing on a reflexology mat, so the impact makes the pain more noticeable.
First, it’s recommended to simply stand on the mat and check which areas hurt.
Then, keeping those spots in mind, attempt the double unders.
Because the mat has a uniquely bumpy surface, losing your balance could lead to injury, so proceed carefully and pay attention to the pain.
First post on Twitter
These days, everyone uses social media, and Twitter is especially popular.
So how about making your company’s punishment game be to reveal your very first tweet? Looking back now, it might be pretty embarrassing!
List five good things about the questioner!
Have the game’s winner list five good things about the person giving the punishment.
We rarely get the chance to tell colleagues, bosses, or juniors their good points directly.
Even if we think them, it’s pretty embarrassing to say them face-to-face.
But that’s exactly why it works as a punishment game! Use this penalty to honestly share how you feel.
It might be embarrassing for the speaker, but it’ll make the recipient happy and give both of you a great chance to get closer.
Think of your own catchphrase and introduce yourself.
How about coming up with your own catchphrase and introducing yourself with it? It would work as an embarrassing-style penalty game, and at the same time it could be a chance to get to know each other better.
If you try it, think up a catchphrase inspired by your distinctive traits, things you like, or your hobbies.
For laughs, it’s also fun to deliberately give yourself an overly grand catchphrase.
smelly spray
If you want to do a punishment game that everyone will hate, one option is to buy a stink spray.
There are many products sold as “stink spray,” but here we’re talking about the party-gag type—the kind that gives off a terrible odor when sprayed.
As for the smell, there are ones that mimic the odor of something that comes out of the human body, or the smell associated with getting sick.
Some can be pretty intense, so it might be a good idea to check reviews before buying.
