The Benefits of Great Christmas Party Games
Party games are not just a fun addition to a company Christmas party; they play a crucial role in ensuring the success and effectiveness of the event. Great games keep employees engaged and entertained throughout the gathering. At your event, interactive games serve as focal points, drawing everyone into the festivities and fostering a sense of participation and involvement.
Incorporating party games into your work Christmas party can also significantly enhance the return on investment (ROI). By ensuring that everyone is actively participating and enjoying themselves, you maximize the overall value of the party. Employees who feel engaged and entertained are more likely to take away valuable experiences and memories, thus amplifying the overall impact of the gathering.
So, too, do great party games serve as powerful tools for team bonding and team building. Through shared laughter, friendly competition, and collaborative problem-solving, employees forge deeper connections with one another, breaking down barriers and strengthening interpersonal relationships. These bonding experiences extend beyond the confines of the party, contributing to a more cohesive and harmonious work environment in the long run. Our team building event planners love coordinating these games to encourage such an environment.
In essence, games at a company Christmas party serve as more than just entertainment; they are essential components that drive engagement, enhance ROI, and promote team cohesion. By prioritizing interactive and enjoyable activities, companies can create memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression on employees and contribute to a positive organizational culture.
Our Top 10 Company Christmas Party Games
Wreath Making Contest
Gather your team together to craft festive winter wreaths in this out-of-the-box competition. Using wire wreath frames, faux greenery, fabric flowers, and bows, teams of 2-4 individuals are asked to make a wreath. Awards can be given for “most creative”, “best use of colors”, etc. Hand out these awards alongside some unique employee recognition awards during your Christmas party to really make your team’s night spectacular. This contest is not only interactive and fun, but it also gives you something to display in your office once the party has ended!
Human Christmas Tree
Divide your group into teams of 3-5. One member must stand still, serving as the “Christmas tree”, while the other players wrap garland around them and string tinsel over them before tying ornaments to it all. This game is played under a time limit, with limited supplies. The team that completes their human Christmas tree wins.
Cookie Decorating Race
This game is best played as a single-player game, but groups of two or more can compete and have their points tallied. This race is timed, and the goal is to frost the most cookies as players can before the timer runs out. The individual or team who frosts the most cookies wins the race, but everyone at the party wins a reward– getting to eat the cookies once they’re finished!
Office Supply Snowman Build
Teams of 3+ are given an array of office supplies, like paper towel rolls, paper cups, tape, and other office supplies with which to build a snowman. This game can be turned into a competition of who can build the tallest snowman, or points can be awarded for the most creative or other categories.
