Used to do this every Friday afternoon, sometimes it would start quite a bit before noon lol. Used to involve a lot of beer and foosball breaks too, and a BBQ for lunch.
If management needs to be convinced then you're probably not going to get it going (since they're obviously jerks), but it's no different than going out for drinks or a team building lunch or going out to shoot pool or anything else teams do for team building. It's awesome, especially if you're within earshot of each other.
Team Fortress 2 works well for this. Free and easy to pick up but takes skill to be good. We used to either play among ourselves, or join a server if there wasn't many people that wanted to play.
Someone also suggested a racing game, I think the recent Sonic cart game looked really good for that kind of thing.
