Some one asked me to visit their office group as a surprise while the boss is on vacation. Any suggestions on what to do to amuse a group of 25, mixed group, in a large corporation. I don't do magic, can't do balloons because of the allergies. Have to keep it down to a roar so not to disurb other groups around, office is a cube farm. :lol: Looking for some funny stuff to to. I will be passing out clown noses and we will have a group photo, that should take 5 minutes. Any suggestions or ideas, props I might use (inexpensive only), any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you in advance if you care respond. Snickers

Do the office chair hokey pokie - it's much easier to turn yourself around in an office chair!

Or, play Office Survivor - I don't have any rules or anything, but there's acouple people I'd like to vote out of our cube farm! We'll have to think of some way to make that fun.... thinking ...

how much time will you have?, Will they gather as a group or are to go from cube to cube? What type of business is it? If you have time, games, male against females, etc. , if it's to be more one on one, some small pocket magic and props. But also think about what will be there and how you can use it. [to exps. to give the real thing out but...] most companies deal with paper and copy machines, give out 'Fryers" [drawing or pic of a rubber chick.] instead of flyers. Every one has business cards, there's an old routine that cute where you have several cards printed up and you can give out "your Card", "your old card", "new Card" etc. build it around and end by actually giving out your real card. Or if they do graphic design go in and draw their pic. ie the U and the thumb drawings etc. Hope this helps bring some other things to mind.

Bring one of those plastic liquid-filled shapes that people freeze to keep their drinks cold without using ice. You can say you carry your own water cooler.

I love puns! Now I have to think of more office puns! Bring some files! (nail files, wood files, etc). and a brief case (a case filled with men's briefs).

If you have to wear a tie for work, wear more than one and write words like "love", "joy", "sorrow", etc. They're emotional ties!

Today, there was a ladder leaning on the wall near the elevator. I wanted to put a sign there: "Elevator is out of order, use ladder". I think it would have raised an eyebrow or two! :?

:D :lol::lol:
That's fantastic!


Offer someone your card, and hand them a playing card.
Someone in another thread mentioned asking people if they had their morning paper, and handing them a roll of toilet paper.

Hand out brown Es at lunch.

Um..............I'll think of some more......
