Online office games and free computer games

December 9, 2008

Guru can't help but be aware that as Christmas approaches, productivity in UK offices will plummet. Rather than bemoan that fact, Guru suggests we should embrace it. It's a been a tough year, right? Go on, take a break, have some fun.

With that in mind, Guru has undertaken some extensive research and found several online office games to keep disciples amused during the countdown to Christmas. They include the classic Penguin Swing Christmas Game, where you have to thwack a penguin as far as possible over the ice, and World Cup Safari cricket where African animals take the place of cricketers.

Other top Christmas games include Deep Freeze, where Santa has to freeze his enemies with a water gun, and Snowmen Invaders which involves throwing snowballs to defeat the evil creatures. 

In fact, for all Christmas office games just visit the Miniclip site - if your company firewall allows you to do so.

Guru has also asked one of his disciples to upload more free computer games on HR Space for everyone in the HR community to enjoy on a quiet Friday afternoon... or any afternoon.

Guru hereby grants the nation's workforce special dispensation to play these computer games and try and beat the high score. Yours Truly is now off to try and hit that pesky penguin more than 300 metres...

You know it's not healthy the amount of time I spend playing the Penguin Swing Xmas game last year. Please don't let me near it again, I can't put it down!

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
