8 Virtual Have-Fun-at-Work Day Ideas
1: Send each other care packages
Send a questionnaire to your team with questions about their favorite things. Randomly assign each member of the team a person to send a care package to. Gather on a video call to share your care package goodies.
2: Shout out on socials
Social media shout-outs are one of the easiest free virtual celebration ideas. Your staff’s good deeds will receive much-deserved recognition and attention. These posts can garner good will with employees and clients alike.
3: Host a trivia hour
Gather some trivia questions, choose a host, assign teams and come up with team names, and let the games begin. First team to get a determined amount of points wins bragging rights.
4: Have a dress-up day
Switch out those slacks and khakis for pajama pants. Put together your craziest outfit or dress-up in 50s attire. Whatever it is, go big and celebrate the best dressed on a video call.
5: Host a virtual escape room
If you are looking to celebrate with games and competitions, then virtual escape rooms may be a good option for your team. There are a wide variety of online escape rooms around, with both paid and free options.
6: Donate together
Create a sense of community by donating to a charity or local organization. Put together a few options for team members to vote on and celebrate the donation together on a video call.
7: Grab your popcorn for movie night
Send a survey to your team with movie titles or ask them to suggest a movie. Screen it together using platforms such as Netflix Party, Hulu Watch Party, or even watch together on zoom.
8: Cocktail/mocktail hour at the home office
Send your team a care package of everything they need to make the perfect cocktail or mocktail. Rendezvous on a video call where a guide will lead the group through a tasty drink tutorial and work-friendly drinking games. End the call with dedicated toasts to your coworkers.
