Hi! Along with people 'doing the mile' in our gym, I'm hoping to get the sweat shy in the office to take place in an 'Office Olympics'. I was hoping to have five events, but that the events would use as little resources as possible. For instance:
Bin Basketball
Mouse Mat Discus
The Longest Paperclip Chain in a Minute
And this is where I've run out. Trying to think of another idea that doesn't involve wasting paper or other supplies is really hard! Is there anyone out there that is having a similar problem? Have you come up with anything else? Would throwing a paper airplane be too similar to the bin basketball?
Any ideas warmly received. Good luck with your fundraising!

Event Ideas Update
Many thanks to everyone for your ideas. This is what we're using if you're stuck for ideas yourself:
1) Bin Basketball - chucking a scrunched up bit of paper into a waste bin from a set distance.
2) Mouse Mat Discus - As it sounds - chuck it as far as you can!
3) Longest Paper Clip Chain in a Minute - Exactly what it says on the tin.
4) Paper Airplane Throw - Not just down to brute force like the mouse mat, people can show their creativity making a paper airplane to go the distance.
5) Water Bottle Skittles - We go through a lot of 500ml bottles where I work. Just add a tennis ball, and instant game!
I've had people donate some unwanted Christmas presents for a nice prize for the person that does the best in all events. We're doing this on top of our sponsored run, dressing down for a pound, a huge raffle for prizes donated by local companies and "change for a change". (I swap their donated Euros, American or Canadian change for Sterling and donate it to Sport Relief.)
I hope some of this inspires you!
