Corporate event team-building activities are a fun opportunity for employers and their team members to get to know each other better and understand how each individual operates outside of the office. To make the most of your corporate gathering, you’ll want to plan some unique activities that keep your employees engaged. Here are some unique team-building activities to try at your next corporate event.
FUN AND INNOVATIVE TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIES
Traditional team-building activities, like Q&A icebreakers or round tables, can quickly get old. Fortunately, there are plenty of new and exciting ways to integrate your employees while encouraging their interpersonal and leadership skills. More unique team-building activities include:
-
Minute-to-Win-It Challenges:
If you’re looking for some quick games to break the ice at the top of your corporate event, look no further than simple minute-to-win-it challenges. These bite-sized competitions are both fun to watch and play, loosening team members up and keeping everyone engaged.
-
Escape Room Challenges:
Escape rooms are unique because they challenge your employees to achieve a common goal. Multiple teams completing the same escape room will add in an extra layer of competition as they use their problem-solving skills to be the fastest team to “break out.” While there are escape room venues that you can visit, you can also create your own, personalized escape room challenge inside any accommodating corporate event space.
-
Trivia Contests:
By hosting a trivia night at your corporate event, you can give your employees an opportunity to flex their impressive trivia knowledge and compete to win fun prizes. You might even consider building a trivia contest around your company and its employees. Not only will it help your team learn more about the organization and each other, but it helps you get to know them better, too.
-
Scavenger Hunts:
A scavenger hunt is great for active employees that love . This type of activity is perfect for the end of your corporate event, so your team has the chance to get their energy out at the end of a long day. Make sure to incorporate a variety of tasks at popular locations in your local area that will test your employees’ skills.
-
Karaoke Night:
Have employees who can’t help but hum at their desk? Let them live out their pop star dreams with a karaoke night. Karaoke provides a relaxing, casual team environment that really lets people get to know each other individually. Participants get to choose their level of participation, whether it’s singing their favorite song or cheering on from the sidelines.
-
Murder Mystery Party:
If you have any true crime fans on your team, a murder mystery party might be right up their alley. Similar to an escape room, a murder mystery party allows your employees to role play within an interactive game. Each player receives clues to help solve a mystery and discover the true identity of the “killer.” You can come up with your own theme, or take inspiration from other Clue-inspired games online.
-
Office Olympics:
There’s no better way to get in the spirit of the Summer Games than by hosting your own Olympics! There are plenty of minigame events to choose from, such as paper airplane throwing competitions, office chair races, trash basketball, corn hole and putt-putt, or come up with a few fun games of your own. You can separate employees into teams by department and have them compete to determine which department gets office Olympic bragging rights.
