Fun Corporate Event Ideas
Any successful team is cohesive, collaborative, flexible, and supportive. Whether your team needs a brush-up on well-established roles, or your organization has just undergone a merger and you need to establish new dynamics altogether, there are fun corporate event ideas or team building activities that are right for you.
Corporate Team Building events are great icebreakers, and improve communication. If your group has trouble communicating at work, then an event outside of work can help your employees speak to each other in a new and neutral environment.
With a short-term goal at stake, your group will be motivated to create, troubleshoot, and innovate to achieve and see immediate results.
A Wealth of Choices for Fun Corporate Event Ideas
There are hundreds of corporate team building ideas available to choose from, so the options can be overwhelming. Here are some fun corporate team building event ideas to get you started on your search!
Ice Sculpting: Your team will work in small groups to design and then create ice sculptures, guided by professional ice sculptors. Each group will have to collaborate creatively and listen to each other. These exercises are great for building communication and troubleshooting skills.
Scavenger Hunts: Your teams will each be given a list of things to find. These types of events are extremely flexible, and can be adapted to cities, parks, woods, or even in your office building! The lists can be random, clues to a final item, parts of a larger puzzle, or just about anything you can envision! These events are good for working on problem-solving and delegation.
Mystery-Solving Events: These are similar to “Mystery Dinner Theatre” events, except that your entire team assumes the role of the ‘detective’. The premises of these events can vary widely, from ‘Who Dun It’ murders to burglary. With a mystery that needs to be solved, your group will be very motivated to exercise their problem-solving and communication skills!
Build a Boat: This event has a number of variables, but can be easily adapted to accommodate groups small and large. You can either choose the materials your groups will be working with, or offer a few selections. Groups will need to design and build a working boat. The final goal, of course, will be to test if it’s seaworthy. A race at the end will add an extra incentive to design the fastest ship they can.
Movie Making: While it may look easy in Hollywood, making a professional movie requires hundreds of people. Your groups will have a similar task – from writing to acting to filming, your team will produce a short film to entertain their coworkers. Topics can range from work-related to fantasy, depending on imagination!
Charity: There are always charity organizations in need of more hands to help. The events will differ depending on the organization, but some include building toys for kids, putting together and decorating wheelchairs for the elderly, and making quilts or blankets for the needy. Your group will pull together towards helping others, and do a good deed while learning to work together!
Culinary Events: The end goal of any culinary event is to work together as a team to put a meal on the table. These events can be any number of types of food, and can be as competitive or collaborative as desired. Your team may compete to build the best pizza, or cook a 4-course gourmet meal. Communication, teamwork, troubleshooting, and support will all come into play.
As you can see, there are plenty of types of team building challenges to choose from! You can narrow down your options by taking group size, season, and location into consideration. For instance, you don’t want to go on an outdoor scavenger hunt in the middle of winter!
Every group has their own restrictions and needs, so use these elements to help determine what event is best for you and your team.
