Tossing their Kooshes back and forth like so many ideas, making up rules, learning to play ball, as it were, so to speak. The big ones are perfect for shooting baskets or taking potshots at closed-minded droners. And of course, Nerf stuff brings to mind Toobers and Zots, from which flowery crowns, kooky creatures and all sorts of creative constructions seem to sprout. And speaking of sprouts, I've always found that food becomes it's own source of distraction and amusement at meetings. French fries become girders, lettuce leaves roofs, and there's no end to the delights of ketchup including use as a decorative device, glue-substitute, or painting medium.
Pretzels become spectacles, pretzel sticks - log cabins.
Popcorn puffs, much like Nerf balls are perfect projectiles. Crust-aceans are born from the edges of sturdy curving pizza slices. Napkin folk emerge like cut-paper dolls. Feels wonderful when you let it drop from hand to hand. 1 ft lengths of that would be cheap and work well, I think.
