You and your office mates are looking for some unique Christmas office party ideas, hoping to make this year’s holiday party the very best ever.
Will the party be held at the work place or at some other venue. This may determine whether or not alcohol can be served at your party.
Once the venue is decided you can plan your menu, based on the theme you have chosen. Finger sandwiches and dainty petit fours would be perfect for a Victorian Christmas themed party.
Use lots of candles, perhaps electric, for safety reasons, and velvet bows and lace for decorations.
Office parties can present many problems, people tend to congregate with others from the same department, and stick with folks they know. The folks from Accounting don’t mix with, let’s say the shipping people.
To change this have games that require teamwork and create teams composed of people from two or more departments. This way people will mix and work together for a common goal.
Some games that might work are: Pass the Balloon – Have teams of about 8 people each, stand in a line the first person holds a balloon under his chin and passes it to the next person, this is repeated until the last person gets the balloon. She then goes to the front of the line, and starts over. The winning team is the first one to have it’s leader return to the front of the line.
Charades is another fun game for teams. Have a quote from a Christmas movie, book. song etc. written on cards. The lead person acts out the phrase while the other team members try to guess what is on the card.
Another fun Game is to supply each team with red paper, tape and cotton batting. The team has to work together to dress one member as Santa Claus in the shortest time. I hope these Christmas office party ideas are of some help to you.
