Having fun doesn’t have to be expensive

Having fun with your team is critical and there are so many cool ways to do it. The best way to find out how to have fun with your team is to bring up the issue at a staff meeting or, if you don’t have regular meetings (we’ll talk about that one later), then schedule a short meeting to brainstorm ways you can have fun together.

Having fun doesn’t have to be expensive.

Here are a few ideas:

•  Have an office putting championship. Set up a small miniature golf course in your office on Friday each week and have a tournament.
• Play a game of “Big Team Pictionary” using flip charts and markers. Divide up into two large teams and play a game.
• When the weather warms up, pick one Friday afternoon each month and take the team to the golf course and play a scramble format tournament.
• Take the team to Indian Mary park and play disc golf.

I have lots more ideas that I’ve successfully used with many different kinds of teams including boards of directors, sales and marketing and finance teams — so I know they work. If you want me to help you plan a fun day with your team, give me a call.

Do you have some fun things that you do with your team that you’d like to share? If so, please send them to me and I’ll share them with this group.
