A boring day at the office can be remedied by an impromptu game of darts during coffee break, but your boss probably won't be receptive to your bringing a dartboard to work. Instead, you can make darts and a dartboard out of common things found on or around your desk, get a few of your co-workers together, and enjoy a good old game of office darts.
Step 1
Gather your supplies, as listed in the Things You'll Need section below. All of them should be within reach of your desk, but you may have to take a stroll to the office supply cabinet if your own supplies are scarce.
Step 2
Find three unsharpened wooden pencils.
Step 3
Tape a push pin to the end of a single pencil.
Step 4
Fold a small post-it in half, taping the loose ends onto the eraser end of the pencil. Repeat this with two more post-its, spacing them out so they make an even wing on the end of the dart.
Step 5
Make darts out of the remaining two pencils by repeating the process.
Step 6
Search for a picture of a dart board, or a picture of your nemesis, print it out, and pin it up on a bulletin board or soft cubicle wall.
Step 7
Now you are ready to Play darts!
Tips
- Do not add any more weight to the dart by using heavier objects than listed. Using too much tape can weigh the darts down, too.
- You can use a hollowed out pen for this as well.
Warnings
- Be careful when assembling and using darts in the office; this may be grounds for discipline or termination.
- Further, if you are terminated for this practice, rejoice and find a job that actually has a dart board in the break room.
- Be careful when throwing the darts; you want to aim at the dart board, not a co-worker!
