Many employees have one thing in common — every week, they count down to Friday. One way to boost employee spirits is with “Fun Fridays.”
Why Host Fun Fridays at Work?
Fun Fridays make Fridays even more exciting! Employees feeling stressed or those looking to celebrate a week full of wins could each benefit from Fun Friday office events. They allow colleagues to bond outside the cubicle and can nurture team morale.
Fun Friday Ideas for Work
Consider these Fun Friday themes:
- Beach escape: Cater picnic foods, give away sunglasses and play games like cornhole. Use this theme to cheer up employees on a drab winter day.
- Scream for ice cream: Set up an ice cream bar complete with toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate syrup, strawberries, walnuts, cookie crumbles, cherries, candies and chocolate chips.
- Pajama palooza: Encourage team members to wear their coziest PJs. Set up a tea station with honey and sugar to enhance the relaxing atmosphere.
- Ugly sweater spectacular: Give a prize to the employee with the ugliest sweater, like a custom trophy.
- “Bring your pet to work” day: Let employees bring their furry friends to the office. Pets will love getting out of the house for an adventure, and employees will appreciate having a buddy nearby.
Fun Friday Office Activities
Here are office games and activities you can incorporate into the themes above:
- Trivia: Friendly competition meets team-building with this Fun Friday office game. Try creating your trivia questions from employee-submitted fun facts about themselves.
- Raffle: Raffle off prizes like a movie theater gift card, car wash voucher or snack box. Whether you charge for raffle tickets — perhaps to support a local charity — or offer free tickets, the chance of winning a prize is enough to get employees excited.
- Guess whose photo: Have every employee submit a baby photo and give a prize to whoever gets closest to unscrambling the mystery.
- Karaoke: Coax employees out of their shells with a fun-filled karaoke session.
