Unusual Activities For A Work Christmas Party
You have been given the job of arranging the work Christmas party. The expectations are high – the pressure is on – what are you going to do?
Well after your initial panic has subsided, its time to make a plan. First off, we recommend researching options online before putting a proposal back to the team.
At Red Cactus Events, we organise hundreds of work Christmas party events each year and specialise in fun and unusual activities that will make you and your team laugh out loud!
We believe that the work Christmas party should be more than just turkey and alcohol so why not mix things up by starting the party with an event to be remembered?!
So on to some ideas – we have compiled the top eight unusual activities to book for your work Christmas party.
One of our favourites is the Office Games Festive Gameshow! It’s inspired by Saturday Night TV and all the gameshows from yesteryear including Countdown, Family Fortunes and more! Hosted by a live gameshow host and featuring some festive fun and jaffa cakes?! It’s definitely one not to miss!
2. Festive Four Quarters Team Challenge
If you’re looking for something that’s relaxing and creative, the festive Four Quarters Team Challenge is a perfect work christmas party activity. Guests spend time in four different challenge zones and have the opportunity to get creative with lego, recreate canvas art, build a ‘sleigh’ from craft materials and recreate a festive music video.
If you need some Christmas party entertainment, Beatz ‘N’ Bingo is the perfect choice! Traditional bingo is all about ticking off numbers but not this one. This is musical bingo where you tick off songs instead of numbers! Everyone will have their own unique bingo card and can sing and dance along as they listen out for the songs on their card.
Inspired by the popular TV show, Master of the Tasks is a fun team building activity which can fit into your company Christmas party plans seamlessly. Participants won’t know what challenges they’re taking on until they open the famous envelope. Some tasks are team based and others are individual where single players are nominated. It’s a fun and silly christmas party idea if you need a christmas activity.
No Christmas party is complete without a Christmas quiz but trust us when we say, this is so much more than a quiz! The BIG Christmas Quiz combines technology with traditional quiz rounds and uses audio and visual elements to create an interactive experience for all teams. You may be tempted to find a christmas quiz online but if you really want to entertain your team, The BIG Christmas Quiz will make your company christmas party one to remember.
6. Betrayers
Betrayers has quickly become a popular traitors style team building event and it’s booked by teams all year round. Teams must take on tasks and puzzles and try and identify the betrayers among them. After each challenge follows a suspenseful round table, where unmasking the Betrayers can be the difference between victory and loss. This event will challenge teams to think outside the box and work together to uncover secrets and Betrayers!
If you want to challenge your teams to something competitive at christmas which gets them working together and communicating, Crystal Challenge is a popular choice. Based on the nostalgic TV show, the activity involves moving round themed challenge zones and taking on different tasks. Some will challenge teams mentally, others physically. Luckily there is a version of this event which can be done indoors so it’s a great christmas team building choice.
8. Beat The Box
Can you cope under pressure? Do you need a christmas team building activity for your company christmas celebration? Beat The Box is inspired by a popular TV show and involves taking on what seem to be simple challenges until your going against the clock. As teams enter the Beat The Box game arena, watch as players fumble as the clock ticks down. Christmas team building can be competitive and fun at the same time!
