Spring employee events are in! As the chill of winter fades and the promise of warmer days emerges, Spring is the perfect time for businesses to reinvigorate team spirit and strengthen connections. Hosting a spring employee event is a great medium to do this. The best way to enhance and personalize a company event is to implement a theme. Whether you are planning a team building day, a networking event, or an employee appreciation luncheon, these ideas will leave a lasting impression.
1. NASCAR
Racing is back! Bring the excitement and energy of a NASCAR race to the office. This theme offers the opportunity to incorporate interactive activities and team building exercises.
Set up a snack bar with classic bites and race day favorites. This may include concession food like popcorn and pretzels, or hamburgers and hot dogs. Level up your food station with creative names.
Make mini pit stop stations where attendees can engage in different activities together and create a little friendly competition. This challenge could relate to something within your company or be strictly for fun.
Host an award ceremony with medals and trophies. This is a great way to recognize employees for their accomplishments. Create a mixture of lighthearted and achievement-based awards. Employee recognition is an important piece of employee appreciation. Ending the day with awards is a great way to wrap up the day.
2. Mardi Gras
Bring the vibrant, festive spirit of New Orleans to the office with a Mardi Gras themed event! Transform your space with festive décor including beads, masks, and a colorful atmosphere. Use the colors purple, gold, and green for streamers, balloons, and tablecloths to bring it to life.
In addition to festive food, serve New Orleans style king cakes and give out a prize to whoever finds the baby.
Some exciting activities to try are Mardi Gras Trivia, a mask or hat decorating contest, or a bead relay race. You can finish the day on a high note with a parade around the office. This is a great theme if your goal is to have a high-energy event.
3. Master’s Tournament
Celebrate Master’s week and bring the spirit of Augusta National to your workplace. Start with a classic lunch including pimento cheese and chicken salad sandwiches. Bring out the lemonade, sweet tea, and other Master’s inspired treats.
Set up a mini putt-putt course and offer prizes to those with the best shot. You could also hold a golf swing competition. Dedicate a conference room or break area to watch the tournament live.
Encourage Master’s weekend attire, and include a prize for best dressed! Finish the day with a green jacket ceremony and take the opportunity to recognize an employee’s hard work and dedication. This theme offers a great opportunity to enjoy a relaxed day together.
4. Picnic Party
What better way to jump into spring than to host an outdoor company picnic? A picnic lunch could include a variety of food whether it’s sandwiches, chips and cookies, or hamburgers and hot dogs. Set up some tables or blankets and get the team outside together.
Games and entertainment could include fun music, giant Jenga, cornhole, or frisbee. Encourage team building with some relay races or other friendly competitions.
This style event would be a great time to celebrate any recent or upcoming birthdays. Include cakes or cupcakes and show your employees some love!
Employee events are important to have throughout the year as they positively contribute to the morale and energy within a company. Whether you are hosting a full-blown party or a simple celebration, there are plenty of meaningful ways to bring your team together. Incorporating a spring theme will take your corporate gathering to the next level.
