Here are some other fun event ideas:
Appreciation Grams
Appreciation grams are sent to co-workers in the office on an ordinary day or in connection with a holiday such as Valentines Day, Easter, Halloween, May Day, etc.
Appreciation grams consist of little notes with words of thanks, recognition, or good wishes. Along with the note include a bag of candy, a Mylar balloon or flowers.
Some examples include: jelly beans for Easter, Hershey Hugs for Valentines Day, pet rocks for a 70’s theme, candy corn for Halloween.
Take pre-orders for one week in the break-room. Write down the names of the sender and receiver so they can be delivered at a later date. Notes can be computer printed generic messages, or at time of purchase, purchaser can hand write a note of appreciation.
Backyard/Parking Lot Bar-B-Q
Determine costs of set-up. Set a sale price for the Bar-B-Q. Pre-sell tickets to the event. The event may also be set up as a potluck picnic with everyone bringing a dish to share.
Items that need to be purchased include: paper products, meat and fixings, buns, beverages, grill, lawn chairs, tables. Set-up outside. You may wish to include a volleyball net, Frisbee, music, etc. as time and space allow.
