Games to Play in the Office
Created | Updated Oct 9, 2005
In the same tone as Games to Play at the Supermarket, I thought I would add the following little gem...
Yawn Tennis
Requirements to play:
1 x Office
1-10 x Preferably adjacent desks with like-minded colleagues
1 x Clock on wall displaying time
General lack of air
I have only been in my current job for 7 months, yet this game has become rather a foundation of my daily routine. Beginning at roughly 4pm (or earlier on a Friday), the game commences with you absentmindedly yawning.
Upon hearing/seeing this action, your work-mates will no doubt feel the contagious effect and subconciously yawn, returning the ball to your court.
Aim of game: To pass the Yawn Serve back to your colleague whilst not being the last to yawn.
The game ends when one person ceases to yawn or you find it is already 5pm and time to go home.
Alternatives to the basic game are to vary the style of serve - a fast ball that your work-mate may indeed miss or a long drawn-out exhalation.
I hear that this game also boosts dwindling energy levels, particularly as you find its contagious effect will encourage you to break into laughter.
There are a wide variety of other Games to Play in the Office, and I am sure these topics will all be covered in time.
