National Fun at Work Day gives offices permission to loosen the tie, crack a joke and remember that spreadsheets are handled by humans, not robots. Most workdays run on deadlines and meetings, which makes the observance a welcome disruption to the usual seriousness. With simple desk-level activities and office-appropriate humor, the workday gets a quick reset that snaps people out of autopilot and sends them back into their chairs smiling.

Four young adults celebrate National Fun at Work Day in a bright room; one sits on a skateboard while another pushes, and two others cheer nearby by a table and beanbags.
