With people returning to work and getting back into the office in 2021, you may need to plan a team-building event. You haven’t seen the old faces around the office in over a year and you’ve never even met the new ones.
It’s time to plan an event for your employees that they won’t just do for the sake of it, but will actually love doing. Keep reading for five creative team-building events!
Create a Scavenger Hunt
Get outside and enjoy the sunshine with your coworkers. Your creative employees can run the scavenger hunt or you can have a company come up with one for you. Break up your company into a few groups to compete against each other.
A scavenger hunt can be much more than just looking for objects around town. Instead, you can make it more than that! You can give it a theme for your employees to do good deeds around the community, support local businesses, or anything else!
Whatever you choose to do, the benefits of the scavenger hunt will make it way more than just another boring team-building event.
Challenge Them to a Cooking Class
Challenge your employees to make the best guacamole, mix the best cocktail, or make the best grilled pizza. This cooking challenge will bring your coworkers closer with friendly competition. You can even time them to make it extra competitive!
Using an outdoor kitchen is perfect for this type of employee event.
Host a Board Game Competition
Creating a board game competition is a cheap way to get your employees’ competitive sides to come out. You don’t even have to leave the office building for this one!
Pick a few different board games or just one. Have your employees choose which game or games they want to play. You could make this a one game competition or have competitors rotate to make it an all-day event.
Head to an Escape Room for Your Next Team-Building Event
There is no getting out of bonding in an escape room. Team members have to work together to find their way out of a room that has everything under a puzzle that needs to be solved.
Employees will leave the escape room feeling more connected to their teammates than they ever were before.

Don’t you miss being a kid and throwing eggs off the school balcony? Well, why not be a kid again? Choose this perfect employee event idea to challenge your employees to their very own egg drop challenge.
Set up a time and place to host the event. Give the winning employee a prize for having the egg that survives the tallest drop.
