STAG NICKNAMES
GAMES
Knickers
You'll need: A pair of knickers.
Rules: A really easy game to get going. All the players put a coin in the palm of their hand. When the best man says the word: "Knickers," all the players open their palms to show their coin. The best man then counts up how many are showing heads and how many are showing tails. The players with the highest number of corresponding faces showing are safe while the rest play on (so if there are 15 of you on the stag, and there are 8 heads and 7 tails, then those holding heads are all safe, and the other 7 players go again).
This continues until you have a loser. If it comes down to just two players, then it's decided on a coin toss. The loser has to put the knickers on over his trousers and keep them on until the next bar when the game is played again.
Last Man Standing
You'll need: A pair of outrageous pants.
Rules: At any point during the evening, if a stag sits down on the ground, the rest of the stags must follow suit. The last man standing must then wear the hideous pants over the top of his trousers until the next time the game is played.
But, should a stag sit down and none of the others join in, then he must wear the pants.
Extra: If you're sly, you can set it up so that the groom falls foul of the first round, has to wear the pants, and then you simply don't play the game again leaving him stitched up for the rest of the night.
Ben Hur
You'll need: A bunch of stupid but relatively fit blokes.
Rules: When it's time to move on to the next bar, assemble the group outside and split them into even-numbered teams and tell them which bar is to be your next port of call.
Now tell the teams they must decide who amongst them is the lightest - this man is now the 'charioteer' and the rest of the team are now the 'roman chariot'.
Get them under starters orders and on your command, the rest of the team must pick up their driver and race to the next bar. They can carry him any way they see fit, but the charioteer's feet must not hit the ground at any time.
Freeze Frame
You'll need: Eyes in the back of your head.
Rules: At any given point in the evening, a stag can freeze completely still. The rest of the stags must follow suit. The last man to spot it and freeze must pay a (pint?) penalty.
Send To All
You'll need: No phones!
Rules: This is a stag do, so all phones should be off-limits when all the lads are together. Any stag found in breach of this golden rule will have his phone taken off him and handed to the groom, who will then send a text to the phone's entire contact list without the guilty party seeing what is written.
Spanish Archer
You'll need: Elbows.
Rules: Pointing? That's just rude. Pointing with your elbows? That, on the other hand, is just weird. Embrace the weird! For the remainder of the evening, you cannot call another stag by name, instead, you must point with your elbows. Failure to do so... Stag forfeit.
'Spanish Archer' - 'El Bow' See what we did there?
Man With No Name
You'll Need: Stag nicknames.
Rules: Names... pfft, they're just so last year. Nicknames, that's what you need. Assign all the stags a nickname. Anyone who forgets and uses a stag's real name rather than his stag nickname must face a forfeit.
Oscar Bravo
You'll need: Movie knowledge.
The Rules: Each player must find some randomers to engage in conversation. The challenge is to get three movie quotes into the conversation without getting rumbled. You can up the ante by deciding which movie the quotes must come from. Any stag who gets caught must pay a forfeit.
Lyrical Gangster!
You'll need: Music knowledge.
The Rules: This game is similar to Oscar Bravo except, this time, it's your song knowledge that will be tested. Each player must find some random people to engage in conversation. The challenge is to get three song lyrics in without getting rumbled. Any stag who gets caught must pay a forfeit.
Plastic Pegs
You'll need: Colourful Pegs.
The Rules: A harmless way to spice up clubbing. Get a load of plastic pegs and assign a colour to each stag. The object of the game is to then attach your colour peg to the clothing of as many strangers as possible without being rumbled. The winner is the person who gets rid of all their pegs! If you don't have enough colours, split into teams.

FORFEITS
Busk In Time
Sentence the stag to trial by public. Relieve him of all his cash and wallet, give him a cap to catch money in and send him outside to busk by singing his favourite song. Don't allow him in the pub until he's made enough to buy a drink. It works even better if the pub has a beer garden, so the rest of the stags can watch his efforts.
Toilet Training
When needing to answer the call of nature, the stag must make sure everyone else hears his call as well by shouting: "I NEED A WEE-WEE!" every time he has to go to the bathroom.
Two-Faced
For crimes against stag-kind, the perpetrator must have half of his face covered in fake tan. Should not be applied to the groom ahead of the wedding day photos for fear of revenge attacks from an angry bride.
Dad Dance
Move over, Cowell, 'Stag Parties Have Got Talent' and to prove it, the shamed stag should now perform some classic dad dancing in a public place (but do think of innocent bystanders and never ask him to do it where he might frighten small children or upset the locals).
King’s Cup
Get an empty glass, pour some of each stag's pint in, and then down the contents. Works well if there are a few different varieties on the go, but not so much if everyone's on the same drink!
Bring Them Down a Peg or Two
Any stags who have spent far too long getting ready will have to reverse their outfits for the walk to the first pub/bar/restaurant! They can only revert back when they have either bought a round or downed a suitably horrible shot.
Chilli Challenge
As failure in fulfilling his stag duties (or just coming last in a stag activity), your victim should be given a fresh chilli to eat for the rest of the stags' amusement. No water or beverages shall pass the stag's lips until the entire chilli has been consumed. Alternatively, you can use a shot of hot chilli sauce.
Twinkle-toes
He's got the moves and now's the time to show them by dancing all the way to the next pub.
Street Serenader
You have been judged to be a numpty. To pay for your crimes against the stag party, you must now serenade a passer-by! If they join you in singing the song, you will not only be exonerated, but you'll also receive a pint from the rest of the stags.
The Sock-o
The chosen stag must remove a sock, stretch it over the top of his glass, and then down his drink through it.
The Shoe-y
The chosen stag must remove a shoe, pour their drink into it and then proceed to down their drink from their shoe.
