No one likes waiting until Fridays come around; that sense of relief we experience as soon as Friday arrives is priceless! Friday brings relaxation after an exhausting workweek; why not add extra excitement by adding engaging games to this exciting celebration day?
Office games provide a great way to build team morale, increase employee engagement, and reduce workweek stressors! It is also one of the best ways to break the ice and create a positive work environment.
Here are six captivating office games that can transform ordinary Fridays into truly extraordinary ones!
6 Exciting and Fun Games and Activities in The Office on Fridays
1. Office Trivia
Strengthen employee relations by hosting an Office Trivia Showdown! Design questions related to your industry or pop culture that test team knowledge of products’ history and usage or quirky workplace habits; pair teams against one another before pitting each against a series of trivia questions regarding company history or eccentric behavior (perhaps offering bragging rights and small rewards for winning team!). Make it friendly yet competitive by adding small incentives!
To add extra fun, hire or select an employee as a quiz master who will ask the questions in mimicry of professional quizmasters so everyone will play along with this fun event! To increase fun further, arrange for or hire/designate someone as a trivia quiz master – they can mimic professional quizmasters while asking the questions like an expert while having lots of fun themselves!
2. Desk Olympics
Start up a friendly competition in your office by hosting a Desk Olympics competition!
Think outside the box when planning the games that will be featured for this exciting event, letting creativity flow! Activities such as paper airplane flying contests, chair racing, or “fastest email sender” competitions will add fun and laughter into every workday – as long as safety comes first and people in your workplace are treated respectfully!
Desk Olympics competitions provide both laughter and enjoyment – as well as being effective methods of increasing productivity, creativity, teamwork, employee engagement, and collaboration (i.e. people working together on tasks together to complete them more rapidly) within workplace environments – plus morale boost!
3. Emoji Pictionary
Emoji Pictionary can help facilitate communication in any office environment!
Create a list of scenarios or phrases illustrated with emoji illustrations before having teams take turns guessing which are correct phrases! Modifications could also involve drawing images with hidden messages or puns behind them – not only will this game be entertaining and educational – but it strengthens team communication as well. Alternatively, teams could try guessing each other’s images, providing another avenue for trust building while becoming acquainted. You might even come across Picassos!
4. Office Scavenger Hunt
Create excitement in your office by hosting an Office Scavenger Hunt!
Gather items or clues related to work and challenge your colleagues to search them all – this game promotes teamwork, discovery, and uncovering hidden corners! The first team who locates all items or solves all clues first wins prizes like extra vacation days or tokens of appreciation; plus remote employees could participate too! Encouraging creative solutions requires being smart too – be creative when setting questions!
5. Two Truths and One Lie
An effective yet straightforward game to help employees and colleagues bond is “Two Truths and One Lie”, where each participant exchanges two truthful statements about themself while making one untrue claim about someone else – leaving everyone guessing which of those falsehoods was said! Great for breaking the ice while uncovering unexpected or surprising details – playing this game also fosters creative problem-solving strategies within teams or workplaces while strengthening employee relations!
6. Charades Challenge
Bring out everyone’s inner actor by engaging them all with an Office Charades game!
Provide participants with terms or scenarios related to work that they must act out without using words; this challenge will test everyone’s creativity while keeping everyone laughing out loud for hours; encourage participation as this provides great team building while getting to know one another better; capture all moments using a camera so everyone can witness and celebrate all the laughter together! After the game concludes, encourage reflection about it all with everyone sharing which part was their favourite!
