Tape over the mouse laser is always a good one
On the computer thread, changing the keys on their keyboard is also fun. Works better if they are a touch typist as well, as they may go several hours/days before noticing, until they have to look for that one special key. :)
Numpad * and / are good for that, I touch type but always have to look at those.
If we're talking computers, screenshot their desktop, set it as background, move taskbar to top, auto hide it, right-click desktop and choose hide icons.
Advanced mode: also set screen flip to 180 degrees and flip the background so it looks right side up.
Plug in a wireless keyboard/mouse and do things, like move the mouse, or write "chicken" every so often?
