Inject Some Fun Into Your End of Year Celebrations with Team Activities

There’s nothing better than gathering with your team to celebrate another successful year. End of Year (EOY) celebrations are the perfect opportunity to commemorate your achievements, strengthen your team bond and, of course, unwind and have some fun. It’s already June, which means it’s time to start thinking about your EOY celebrations. 

Consider shaking things up with a team activity. No, we’re not talking about in-office team bonding activities (although these definitely have their place). There’s plenty of thrilling experiences designed to not only inject some fun into your celebrations, but provide the many proven benefits of team bonding.

Boost Your Team’s Happiness with New Experiences 

‍

New experiences provide a lovely boost of dopamine; our brain creates new neural connections as we learn. Giving your team the opportunity to do something new, and learn, can be a great way to promote overall employee happiness. Entertainment powerhouse Ballers Clubhouse is filled with a variety of activities like ping pong, shuffleboard and darts, providing the perfect storm of novelty for your team. Playing in teams, alongside building new skills, creates a brilliant blend of end-of-year fun and team bonding. 

If you’re after something less games-focused, many venues run a variety of interactive classes. From gin and cocktail making, wine tasting right through to pesto creation and paint and sips, there’s no shortage of available options.

Strengthen Your Team’s Connections Outside of The Office 

‍

While EOY celebrations are about unwinding and celebration, they can be a fantastic way to build on your team’s connections. Team activities aren’t always a tool to drive lessons of leadership and creative thinking, but rather an opportunity to build your team’s sense of community through fun, shared experiences. 

If you already have a venue in mind for your EOY event, bringing in a team building supplier like Be Challenged can be a fantastic option. With activities ranging from artwork creation and mystery boxes to Survivor and Amazing Race-style challenges, your EOY event is sure to make an impression.

Incorporate Your Team’s Interests 

‍

Fostering trust and community within your team can be as simple as finding out, and supporting, their interests. Doing this for your EOY event in particular provides a positive platform to kick off your new year. Distribute a poll amongst your team, and find out what they’re interested in. Maybe you have an office of golf fanatics; an inner city golf studio like Playfair Golf & Goods or sprawling golf course like Meadowbrook Golf Club, will create more anticipation and appreciation for an event your employees have personal interest in. Similarly, if your team loves being on the water, then vessels The Jackson create the perfect opportunity for waterside views. 

‍

Team activities don’t have to be just a tool to drive your business objectives; instead, consider them as a way to foster new, fun experiences for the whole team.
