When deciding which dares to use, make sure not to chose those that might offend your group members. Remember that the goal of these dares is to bring fun, not to cause conflict. Choose dares that you know will give everyone a good laugh, including the one doing the dare.
2. Consider your group

These can actually make someone look silly and extremely funny, which is why you should think of how close-knit your group is before deciding on a dare. Don't choose dares that will put anyone in an awkward position. Choose dares that are suited for your group, or better yet, go with those dares that are so safe, anyone can do them.
