And there are lots of versions of this game, but the one we like the best, is the one where you split your group into pairs. Each pair sits back to back. Give one person a picture, and give the other person a pencil and paper. Then, get the person with the picture to describe what they can see to their partner — who must attempt to draw a replica of the picture, as best they can. But some might surprise you.
And either way, your team members will be learning to improve their communication skills in the process. Not all games need to be focused on something like team building or team bonding. In fact, playing games during break time is a great way to recharge your batteries and get ready for the next half of your shift.
So we have decided to include a few of our favourite tabletop games that can generally be played in under an hour. Chess is probably the most popular two-player board game in the world. And not only is it a great way to pass some time, but it hones skills such as strategic planning and forward-thinking.
As with many board games, Chess is now very easy to play online — either against a friend, or against a stranger. Werewolves is such a fun game of social deduction and trickery, that we think it deserves more than one mention. In a game of Werewolves, players are secretly assigned roles.
The werewolves must attempt to convince the villagers that they are innocent, while the villagers must attempt to lynch the secret werewolves amongst them.
There is a print version of the game you can buy, or you can print your own copy and learn the rules here. Alternatively, you can just play the game online at Board Game Arena , which makes remote play possible. Another game of social cues and bluffing, in a game of Coup you rely on your individual ability to smuggle lies past the other players on the table.
Or, if you are brave, you can win this game by telling bare-faced truths the whole way through! In a game of Coup, you are attempting to eliminate all other players, through a combination of robbery, taxation and assasination. There is a physical version of this game, but if you are part of a remote working team, you can play this game online at Board Game Arena.
Code Names is a wonderful game for two teams, all about communication and clues. You must attempt to pass clues to your own team, without giving away clues to the opposing team.
Code Names is a physical board game, but if you already know the rules then you can play it online here. In a game of Cards Against Humanity, somebody will draw half of a sentence from the card deck. You must then use your own personal stash of cards to complete the sentence. If your solution is voted as the funniest, you win the round. You can print a free copy of this game from the Cards Against Humanity website , as long as you promise not to use it to make money.
We believe you should encourage your teams to be physically active where possible. Not only this, but sports can encourage healthy competition, which can be good for motivating your employees to perform better at their jobs. Here are some ideas for making sports and physical activities an important part of your working environment. Organising a sports tournament between teams is a great way to encourage a little bit of healthy competition, and get the blood pumping.
Outdoor or field sports lend themselves well to tournaments — think about sports like soccer, volleyball or even extreme frisbee! Instead of organising a competition between teams, one great idea is to organise a challenge between other businesses or organisations.
The reason we believe organising a challenge between other businesses works so well, is because it can really encourage that team spirit and make your teams even closer to each other than before. Ping pong, or table tennis, is the classic indoor sport for office spaces.
It only needs a small amount of space, and it provides a great workout at the same time. These can break, so make sure you have plenty spare. If you have a ping pong table, then a great game to try at work, if you want to include multiple people at once, is a big game of run-around. The game works best with around 8 people, but can be fine to play with How a game of run-around works, is everybody stands in a circle around the table, holding a bat.
The two players at opposite ends of the table will start — one will serve the ball to the other. However, upon hitting the ball, each player will begin making their way to the next side of the table, leaving the player behind them to return the next shot. Each time a player misses a shot, they sit out, until eventually only 2 people remain. You can declare these joint winners, or have a play-off to determine the champion.
If you want something a little more gentle, which takes up even less space, then a foosball table is a good alternative for sport. While it is not particularly physically active, it is suitable for players at a time, and can lend itself well to tournaments and leagues. In fact, a one-hour session of yoga probably produces enough sweat to fill a bucket. But seriously, yoga can be a great way to help your team focus their minds and bodies.

On International Day people can bring in a favorite dish and share it with the rest of the office. Have managers organize departments into large dance troupes. The department can vote on a song and then choreograph a group dance to surprise another department.
These flash mobs or surprise dances can occur throughout the year with each department getting its own chance to shine. Block out a week of the year, one that may be less busy than others, and allow departments to prank other departments. The pranks should be fun and harmless, but brew a sense of friendly mischief and competition between departments. They then buy a gift for the person whose name they picked out of the bucket. Gifts can range, though it is highly recommended to set a price limit.
Before beginning, set a step goal for the office to reach by the end of the program. Supply all people with pedometers and have them record their steps for each day in a Google Doc or Google Sheets. At the end of the program, calculate the total steps and see if your office has achieved the goal.
Break people into teams and supply building equipment such as popsicle sticks, newspapers, tape, and glue. Each team will create a small bridge that can connect two books placed two feet apart. The team with the bridge that can hold the most weight will be crowned the winner. Have everyone bring in a baby picture of themselves. Place all the pictures in a common space and give people time to view them. Then, hold a vote to see if people can correctly match the pictures to their respective persons.
Organize a day where everyone from the office will volunteer together at a local animal shelter. This can be done on a workday or on the weekend. Plan an office-wide scavenger hunt. Break the office into several teams, leaving clues all around the office. The first team to finish will be the winner. Break the office into teams and host a trivia night.
Each team will have the opportunity to win a point if they are the first to correctly answer a question. Hold several rounds, eliminating the lowest-scoring team at the end of each round, until you are left with two teams. Save the hardest questions for the last round, allowing the two remaining teams to call on eliminated persons for help. Host a card game or board game tournament during lunchtime. Make available various board games and several sets of cards for people to use. Provide teams with crafting supplies such as cotton balls, tape, newspaper, and cardboard.
The teams must create an egg holder that will prevent the egg from being cracked when dropped from a predetermined height. Break off people into groups of two. Each pair will be tied together at the ankles and must compete in a race against other pairs.
The team to finish first while remaining tied together wins the race. This can be done in conjunction with other activities. Create teams, making sure to break departments up. Use the drawing-based charades game to help people educate their team members on what they do. Each member of each team will be given the opportunity to draw one aspect of his or her job, whether it be a day-to-day activity or something more complicated.
Have all participating people form a circle. After the circle is formed, people will hold the right hand of one employee and the left hand of another employee. Make sure the people holding hands are standing across from each other so a human knot can be formed. The goal of this activity is to untie this knot without letting go of anyone's hand. Create an obstacle course through the office. People who volunteer to go through the course are blindfolded and guided through the course by their colleagues.
Provide each team with the same amount of plastic cups, making sure to keep the amount unknown until the start of the competition. Each team must use all of the cups to create a pyramid. Then they must break down the pyramid by stacking the cups one into the other. If a cup is missing from the stack or if a cup falls out of the pyramid, then the team must start again from scratch.
Host a weekend BBQ for staff and their families.
