It’s Halloween and time to get things in order for a spookily fun day at the office.
Here are some ideas to help you make the most of today and maybe, just maybe, get to know your colleagues a little more.
Halloween in the Office – Fun Ways to Connect with Colleagues
Jokes
Our team spent way too long researching these Halloween golden nuggets. Here are a few ‘dad jokes’ to get you going:
What would you get if you crossed a turkey with a ghost? A poultrygeist!
What do you call a dancing ghost? Polka-haunt-us
Which ghost is the best dancer? The Boogie Man!
What do you call a cheesy halloween dance? The muenster mash!
Thank goodness for Halloween, all of a sudden, cobwebs in the office are decorations!
Costume Party
Get your spooky costume on and be set to party!
To be more inclusive, consider multiple categories of awards – like best costume, funniest outfit, most sophisticated get-up, the one that took the most work to make, the scariest costume, and perhaps the most creative costume.
Decorations
Give cool prizes for best and most festively decorated work area. Consider focusing on team building elements of this competition by nudging team members to collaborate and decorate their shared work areas. Alternatively, you could have teams pick a specific office location (lobby, meeting room etc) and each team decorates their area.
Pumpkin Carving
Always a favorite but please keep the competition friendly!
Games
Bobbing for apples is an age-old Halloween tradition that many employees will decide to skip (it’s messy), but is fun for those who are more adventurous or unworried about messing up hair, makeup, and clothing.
