Why not:
· Make up silly job titles for yourself and your co-workers?
· Give out awards to people who go "above and beyond the call of duty" when a coworker is on vacation?
· Perform "ritual dances" at the completion of a project?
· Have a fashion show when it's time to choose a new uniform?
· Open meetings with foam dart fights, relay races in office chairs (wheels preferred), or marshmallow fights?
