Compete

The competitive spirit works wonders. Set a goal, get your colleagues involved, and play fair. Purpose: sales, technology mastery, or, for example, the speed at which a task is completed. Such competitions can be not only interesting, but also very useful for your professional growth and career.

Create or join a hobby group

This can be a reading club, learning English, going to the gym, a movie club, and much more. Such joint forms of leisure allow you to find a common language with colleagues and escape from everyday routine.

If you've noticed, communication is at the top of every point. Make friends with your coworkers, find common topics of conversation, be polite and come to the rescue at the right time. Thus, you create a favorable workplace climate where you want to return!

Friendly sports match

Divide the office into teams and organize a friendly football, basketball or volleyball match. This can be done in your local park or on the lawn next to your office. Kicker or ping pong are also great.

Culinary competition

Assign employees to cooks or judges. The chefs will be involved in a cooking tournament. They must use the products found in the break room, kitchen and office to prepare snacks for the judges. There will be two rounds in each match: the savory round and the sweet round. The cooking competition continues until one winner is determined.

Hoop game

Have everyone gather in a circle, hold hands, and put the hoop around the shoulder of a colleague. The purpose of this exercise is to circle everyone in the circle.

International day

Give people the opportunity to celebrate each other's different origins. On International Day, people can bring their favorite food and share it with colleagues.

Flashmob surprise

Let the managers organize the departments into small dance groups. A department can choose a song or group dance and surprise another department. These flash mobs or surprise dances can be done throughout the year, when each department has its own chance to show off.

Week of jokes

Set aside a week of the year that might be less busy than others, and allow departments to play tricks on the other department. Jokes should be fun and harmless, yet evoke a sense of friendly intrigue and competition between groups.

Secret Santa Claus

During the December holidays, put everyone's name in the basket and give it out so everyone can choose a name. Then everyone buys a gift for the person they have chosen from the basket. Gifts vary, but it is recommended that you set a price cap on gifts.

Fitness program

Before starting this program, set an end goal for your office. Provide all people with pedometers and ask them to record their steps every day, for example, in Google Docs. At the end of the program, count the total number of steps and see if your office has reached the goal.

Bridge construction

Break your coworkers into teams and supply construction equipment such as ice cream sticks, newspapers, duct tape, and glue. Each team will create a small bridge that can connect two books that are 50-60 centimeters apart. The team with the bridge capable of supporting the maximum weight will be declared the winner.

Guess the baby photo

Let everyone bring their own baby photo. Then hang them in a common space. Give your colleagues time to see and contemplate all of them. Then, take a vote to see if people can correctly match the photos with the relevant faces.

Volunteers at a local orphanage

Organize a day for all office staff to work together at a local shelter. This can be done on weekdays or weekends.

Scavenger hunt

Plan an office scavenger hunt. Divide the office into multiple teams, leaving clues throughout the office. The first team to finish will be the winner.

Quiz

Break the office into teams and run a quiz. Each team will have the opportunity to score a point if they answer the question correctly first. Play several rounds, eliminating the team with the lowest score at the end of each round, until you have two teams left. Save the hardest questions for the last round, letting the two remaining teams reach out to the dropped out people for help.

Lunch break games

Organize a card or board game tournament during lunch. Make available a variety of board games and multiple employee card sets.

Don't break the egg

Provide the teams with materials such as cotton wool, tape, newspapers, and cardboard. Teams must create an egg holder that will prevent the egg from splitting when dropped from a given height. The winning team is the team whose egg does not break and has the lightest weight holder.

Lemmings 2: The Tribes

Even people who are very far from computer entertainment have heard about this legendary game in which lemmings walk together to meet dangers. You need to manage this large family and take the animals through all the obstacles to the finish line. In the second part of the game, the general concept of the gameplay did not change, but many new levels were added, and lemmings began to possess a significantly larger number of skills.

Maniac Mansion

Maniac Mansion is one of the first classic quests. The gameplay at that time was really revolutionary, as it allowed you to choose different characters for the passage and even allowed several options for the end of the game. The game's plot is more reminiscent of the plot of a cheap horror movie (dead men with chainsaws, secret laboratory of a mad scientist, alien invasion, mysterious mansion), but a fair amount of black humor and cool characters will not let you get bored.

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego: Enhanced

Actually, this long name hides a training course in which children learn geography and history in a playful way. But the creators were so carried away by the gaming component that the resulting product rightfully took its place among the best computer games of all times and peoples. The plot is based on the pursuit of a famous secret agent who is trying to hide from you in the most exotic corners of the planet. To defeat him, you will have to solve ingenious riddles, add puzzles, solve problems and update your knowledge of different countries.

SimCity

SimCity is … What can I say, it's a legend! It was this computer game, the first version of which was released in 1989, that became the progenitor of all modern city-planning simulators. In the game, we have to plan urban development, create new buildings, collect taxes and develop our city as mayor. Of course, the first version of SimCity cannot boast of modern visual effects, but it does not slow down and works right in the browser.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards

This game takes place in a fictional city reminiscent of Las Vegas, where the protagonist tries to find “true love”. The plot has such a piquant character that even in our time it is perceived at least with interest. And in 1987, when the first version of the game was released, Leisure Suite Larry made the effect of an exploding bomb.

SimAnt: The Electronic Ant Colony

This game was created in collaboration with biologists, so for all the external ugliness, it is a serious and complex ant colony simulator. The player controls a yellow ant, which is to become the ancestor of an entire colony. She will gradually conquer more and more new spaces and feud with the colony of red ants, which is the main rival in the game.

Minefield

Another classic team building game that develops bonds and trust. It is perfect for the office because you can use whatever comes handy as an obstacle.

It is necessary to organize obstacles and divide employees into groups. They take turns walking blindfolded through the minefield, and their teammates must guide them. To make the game more interesting and challenging, employees should only use specific words or clues.

Ten ways to kill an idea

Never kill an idea! All you need to save and enhance it is a poster and a marker. Make a list of negative words and phrases that kill ideas and place them in the conference room. Anyone who uses a killer idea: a word or phrase during a meeting should leave a “fine in the treasury”.

First, when there is enough money in the “treasury”, you can organize a lunch for the team or something else. Second, employees will learn to offer ideas in a positive way.

Mission

The goal of the game is for each employee to explain how they see teamwork.

Materials needed: pens, paper and any requests. Each person ends the sentence: “My vision for the team is…”. The team needs to create one view that shows all of these points of view as a whole.

Throw the ball

You will need two balls (like tennis balls), straws, and ribbons.

Divide your employees into two groups. Each group receives 12 straws and 18 cm of duct tape. They have 10 minutes to come up with a ball catcher.

Each group chooses a “pitcher” – a person stands on a chair and holds the ball at eye level. The group places their container on the floor where the ball hits. There are three attempts. The group that catches the most wins the ball.

This is not only an entertaining game, it involves a little physical exercise.

Plane ride

Brighten up a tough day! Make lots of paper airplanes and form two teams on opposite sides of the office. Start throwing planes to the other side. The goal is to prevent any airplane from touching the ground.

It is both physical activity and laughter at the same time!

Reach the mark

Tired of sitting in a chair? Get up and shake yourself. Here's an office game to relieve stress and demonstrate the strength of team support. All you need is a piece of paper, a marker, and ribbons.

Stick the paper high on the wall. Divide into two teams. The player must rush through the office and jump as high as possible, placing the print on the paper. The next opponent player must place the mark even higher. Employees are not allowed to use chairs or help from the team, only support. The game ends when the team is convinced they cannot place the sign higher.

Five truths and deceptions

Divide into teams. The speaker must prepare a certain number of statements (depending on how many employees want to play) and read five aloud at the same time. Four of these statements are true and one is false. The object of the game is to find the false statement. The team that finds it faster wins.

Games are the best entertainment in the office, they relieve stress and develop the speed of thinking. Feel free to customize them to suit your needs and capabilities. Set awards or prizes as incentives.

You can play games during a break, after work, at a corporate event, at any convenient time. The main thing is a positive attitude and team spirit.

Increase the productivity of your staff playfully!

Objective: Together, participants learn to rethink negative experiences and learn from them valuable lessons.

Mixing goals

Time: 1-2 minutes
Number of participants: any
Inventory: not needed
Rules: excellent team office game that will not take much time. Before holding a meeting, ask each participant in the game to walk around their colleagues and tell what they are going to share in the meeting to as many people as possible. If you want, you can assign a prize to the player who shares his plans with as many people as possible, and to the one who successfully communicates what he told his colleagues about before the meeting.

Purpose: This type of team building increases the efficiency of meetings and forces participants to think in advance about what they are going to say, not what they want to hear.

Clew

Time: 15-30 minutes
Number of participants: 8-20 people
Inventory: not needed

Then ask them to reach out with their left hand and take another random person by the hand. Within a certain time, the team must unravel this tangle without unclenching its hands. If the group is too large, organize a few smaller laps and invite them to compete with each other for speed.

Objective: Communication and teamwork skills are essential to the success of this game. And after it the participants will have something to discuss at their leisure.

Puzzle barter

Time: 1-2 hours
Number of participants: four small groups or more
Inventory: one puzzle for each group
Rules: Ask the participants to split into small groups with an equal number of players. Give each group one puzzle of the same difficulty. The goal is to complete the puzzle faster than the rest of the groups. But! Some of the pieces of each puzzle are in the other group. And each group must decide how to get them – by negotiation, trade, exchange of team members, etc. Whatever the participants decide, the decision must be made together.

Purpose: This game trains problem solving and leadership skills. Some players are more active, others remain on the sidelines, but it is important to remember that every decision of the group must be coordinated with all its members.

I believe – I do not believe

Time: 10-15 minutes
Number of participants: five or more people
Inventory: not required

Then ask them to take turns telling three true and one false facts in no particular order, without saying which one is wrong. After the story of one participant, the others must guess which of the facts is false.

Purpose: A great game for networking, especially for newly formed teams. It helps you avoid jumping to conclusions about your coworkers and gives introverts a chance to share something about themselves.

Blind drawing

Time: 10-15 minutes
Number of participants: two or more
Inventory: picture, pen and paper
Rules: Divide the participants into groups of two. Seat the groups so that the participants sit with their backs to each other. Give one group member a pen and paper and the other a picture. The participant holding the picture must describe it to his partner, without directly saying what is shown there. For example, if the picture shows a worm in an apple, do not say, “Draw an apple with a worm.” A person with a paper and a pen should draw what, in his opinion, is shown in the picture according to the description of the partner. Set the game time: 10-15 minutes.

Purpose: This game trains communication skills and teaches you to interpret information. When the drawing is ready, it is always interesting to see how the drawer understood his partner's descriptions.

Board games

If you are worried about the side effect of red eyes or reduced vision from computer games, board games are more suitable for you. The most popular types are table football and hockey. If you find among your colleagues the same sufferers as you, then you can figure out for four. To do this, you need to chip in a few hundred rubles and purchase everything you need to play. You can even organize a tournament: for this, it will be enough to gather in a closed office, and to the others to announce that you are holding a meeting and not to be disturbed. After that, boldly turn off the phones and cut into the game until you get bored.

Pros: You can have fun and carefree 3-4 hours at work.

Cons: Requires special equipment.

Social games

Mating games can be distinguished as a subspecies of social games. If it becomes completely boring, then you can start an affair with a colleague. If successful, the business may end with a honeymoon trip, where you will definitely take a break from work. In case of failure, you will be busy with your worries, and there will simply be no time left to perform work duties. In any case, you will have something to do.

Another popular form of social gaming is table conversation. As the name suggests, it should take place at the table in the form of tea or coffee. In some cases, a different type of drinking is practiced, but we do not recommend doing it during working hours in order to avoid dismissal in accordance with paragraphs. b p. 6 of the already mentioned Art. 81.

Also, in order to avoid negative associations with empty pastime and to give a solemn atmosphere, instead of drinking tea, you can arrange a tea ceremony. If the harsh bosses look in, you can always say that you are experiencing a new system of non-material motivation, and then offer the leadership a seagull.

Pros: Drinking tea will save you lunch time, which can be spent on shopping.

Cons: at most you can devote an hour to tea drinking, you won't be able to spend the whole working day like that.

In addition to the available types of entertainment in the office described by us, there are other ways to enjoy your work time, here you are limited only by your imagination.

Computer games

The safest way to forget about work for the whole day. As you immerse yourself in the twists and turns of the events of Grand Theft Auto 5 or Crysis 3, you can develop useful skills such as reducing phone time, the habit of checking email not once every five minutes, but once a day, and the ability to dodge unnecessary tasks. … Developing these skills is very important, since computer games can consume all of your office hours.

Jenga

The game is ancient, but one Englishman with Tanzanian roots domesticated it at the start of the 1970s. There is a tower. There are 54 pieces of wood in the tower. The top three rows do not move. It is necessary to stick out the blocks from the lower ones and move them up. The concept is very philosophical. The growth of the tower, like everything else, comes to an end someday, and it collapses to hell. If this happened during your turn, sorry, you lost.

We have a slightly more confused version of Jenga in our hands. By the way, the Russian alternative is simply called “The Tower”. So, we have in our hands a number of bars with tasks assigned to them. To not only try to cope with your super fat fingers, but also to amuse the competitors.

By the way, there are also colored towers. During your turn, the color of the bars that can be drawn is determined. Hence the bonus difficulty.

There is a known variant of “alkojengi”, but we do not drink at work and generally for a healthy lifestyle.

“Thinking Turbo”

Almost zero rules. Playable for any amount of time and therefore valuable. There are two types of cards – with letters and categories. We open the category, open the letter. All participants must immediately name the word that corresponds to this combination. Let's say the letter “I” and the category “Can be seen in the hospital.” Say the word “poison” first, and if the rest of the participants agree that “poison” corresponds to a hospital, you have won.

It is not necessary to be the most erudite; it is necessary to think in turbo mode. The answers are likely to be cosmically different. In view of the general haste and the fact that offices are predominantly endowed with smart people, there is guaranteed a reason to laugh.

And most importantly, you can stop at any time. And the jar is also beautiful.

“Wild jungle”

The office has a table and a chair, you can play anything at all. Even in very long strategies. But this is rather an exception. Therefore, we continue about simple things.

We remember school. There (if we talk about the junior grades) they practiced physical education. It was like mass psychosis, when the class got up at the same time in the middle of the lesson, but the message was nothing. Like “we wrote, we wrote – our fingers are tired.”

If you have grown up, and school does not let go, you can play grapple. Jungle Wild is one of the smash hits of this category. There will be a totem in the center of the playing field. The players take turns revealing cards with very similar figures. If they match for two participants, the guys become duelists. The winner is the one who grabbed the totem faster. This is a fun and easy game in which you need attentiveness and quick reactions.

But there is a catch. Maps are super similar, but still different. And it seems like you need to grab, but you're not sure if they are the same. At the same time, the worst thing is to grab the totem when it was not necessary. There will be a fine and other troubles.

“Explosive kittens”

Everyone who loves cats is calm, citizens. No animal will be harmed.

Explosive Kittens is a Kickstarter record holder. A project that raised $ 8.7 million in funding in a month. The creators wanted $ 10,000. Yes, there is reason to think that we are doing something wrong in this life …

All in all, a very simple and cool game. The bottom line: if you pulled out an explosive kitten card, you lost. That's it, the essence is gone. There are cards in the hand and in the deck. Everybody pulls new ones a little bit. As soon as the explosive kitten happened, we finished. However, you have cards in your hand that can undo this action or force others to refer to the deck.

It turns out to be a very lively and entertaining process. In this case, the design of the game and its vocabulary are “delivered”.

And remember: the explosive kitten lies in the deck and is waiting for you …

Blind maze

A labyrinth is drawn on the ground. The player's task is to cover the distance blindfolded without going beyond the outlined limits. Help is provided by colleagues, each of whom in turn utters only one word.

Merry snake

Team members, preferably of 5-10 people, stand one after another and gently squeeze a block between their belly and the back of the player in front (you can use bobbins from under the cling film).

The task is to go the distance without losing a single link, otherwise you will have to return to the start.
