Holiday office party games can take on many different forms. If your office group is small, your party can either take place at the office, a restaurant, or in of the employee’s homes. Party games can be the old favorites involving cards or board games, but they can also include games made up that are connected with the work that you do. Games that follow the same idea as bingo can work very well, but the card is adapted to categories that would be found in your particular field of work.
Memory games are other holiday office party ideas often enjoyed by staff. Competition games work well in offices where workers put things together or assemble things. An example of this might be a group of people that assemble furniture. The game would consist of giving them several pieces of furniture from different items, and then they would have to sort out what the specific pieces of furniture that go together and then choose one to assemble. This can be timed with a stop watch or be done at the same time others are doing it to see who is fastest and who completes the job properly.
This type of game works well for restaurant workers, either for kitchen staff or front of the house staff. Anything from opening and serving a bottle of wine, to being able to tell the beer that you are serving from their color and scent can work well when putting together such a competition. Menu competitions and what goes into some of the more complicated dishes, to what beverages are served and the price of each item can be fun especially with a prize at the end to sweeten the contest. This may sound odd to some, but people enjoy playing games connected with things that they are knowledgeable about.
Games are not meant to be so complicated that it takes the fun out of the event. These games can also be played in teams. You might have definitions written on paper that you or a team may need to find the right category for.
