The holiday season is a great time to come together for everyone, including friends and family. Why not extend warmth to colleagues?
Corporate Team Building Events
Creating a positive atmosphere among your colleagues and the organizational culture can be a great time. Moreover, doing so will be fun, memorable, and loving. So, here are five(5) corporate team building events we put together for the holiday season:
Surprise gifting activities:
Build the intensity throughout the period with surprise gifting activities. Ask your team members to choose gifts for everyone on the team and send them as a surprise. This will not only be fun but will also bring together people like never before. We all love gifting undoubtedly, and this will create a feeling of reciprocating goodwill between the team members. The gifts do not have to be expensive; they just have to be thoughtful.
Holiday baking event:
While not everyone might enjoy baking or cooking, everyone will be excited to celebrate together. Organize a baking day to bake everyone’s favorite treats. Some might love to bake, and some might just love to eat sweet treats. Nevertheless, it will bring everyone together to celebrate the moment. Helping each other out during the activity and enjoying the treats can be a heartwarming experience. Corporate team building isn’t all about being formal; it can also be about coming together to eat good food and make merry.
Holiday décor making:
Not all teams enjoy the same thing. If your team does not have enough foodies, look into some arts and crafts. Come together with your team to craft beautiful décor for the holiday season or put up a Christmas tree décor activity. It will take everyone down memory lane and take team bonding to the next level. You can also have a shopping day together to buy craft supplies.
Family gatherings:
Family is integral to all of our happiness. How about introducing your team members’ families for the holiday season? It promotes inclusivity and equality in your teams. Connecting with the family members also fosters trust and understanding between the team members. An evening with the families and pets would be a great way to welcome the holiday season.
Holiday card making:
When we were young, card-making was a yearly activity. The digital world has replaced cards, so it may no longer be a tradition. However, handwritten cards or notes always hold a special memory for everyone. Engage your team in a holiday card-making activity for an evening with good food and happy-hour drinks. You will not only have interesting conversations around but also see your team members bond with each other over shared interests, hobbies, skills, and memories.
Team building is more effective when your team members truly enjoy being present. Instead of the regular icebreakers, scavenger hunts, or mystery rooms, try exciting and unique activities.
