It's
the annual company party and
everyone is watching the boss,
waiting for he (or she) to break
the ice and hit the dancefloor
so they can follow. Or perhaps
they are just hoping the boss
leaves early, so he won't see
what party animals they are
out of the office. We know from
our experience that some office
get-togethers are very awkward
for employers and employees
as well as their spouses who
know no one. You work together
over 250 days a year, eight
hours a day. Now for just four
or five hours, you'll come together
to cut loose, put on your dancing
shoes and have some fun...after
you sit through the awards,
presentations and speeches that
is.
We've
found that using one or more
of our ice-breakers is instrumental
in transitioning from sitting
through dinner and programs
to dancing the night away. Let
us know which ice-breakers you
want, we'll handle this "warming
up" of the crowd.
Our
Favorite Ice Breakers:
Centerpiece
Giveaway:
One guest at each table will
take home the centerpiece you've
provided. Whether it's a dot
under the chair or musical chairs,
this fun, simple idea gets everyone
at the party involved.
Let's
Make A Deal:
A fun way to give away your
prizes. We'll ask guests to
produce items such as an expired
driver's license or a green
tic-tac. The first person to
present it wins a prize.
The
Sticker Game:
Each guest is given a sticker
and told the object of the game
is to collect the most stickers.
You'll lose your sticker when
you slip and say the secret
word we've chosen in conversation.
Great for cocktail hour when
you want to encourage mingling.
Name
That Christmas Carol:
A holiday party must! All of
the most popular carols are
depicted by a drawing on one
sheet. Just figure out each
drawing. Easy to play right
at your tables.
The
Company Party Test:
Two people (maybe the boss and
secretary) stand back to back
and answer a dozen work-related
questions about themselves like
"Who's usually late?"
while the rest of the company
laughs at their answers. This
is a huge hit!
The
Twelve Days of Christmas:
With your help, we'll write
a customized version of this
classic carol. Sung to the same
tune, the words for each day
are uniquely yours. We'll lead
the tables in singing and have
each table sing a verse. Watch
as each table tried to out do
the previous table!
