Hoping to encourage team bonding after returning to an in-person setting? Taking time to celebrate national holidays is a tried-and-true way to give your employees an opportunity to relax and get to know one another. Fourth of July is just around the corner, so consider hosting a party to get festive and reward the team’s hard work. If you need some inspiration, check out a few of our favorite Independence Day ideas below. For supplies to make your party (and everyday office life) great, browse our EON office catalog.
Host a Potluck
No Fourth of July party is complete without a plethora of classic American foods. To get the party rolling, create a sign-up sheet and ask each person to bring their favorite dish or get creative with a new recipe. From the basics such as apple pie and on-the-grill fare to festive options (like these red, white, and blue chocolate-covered strawberries), there are many patriotic additions for the potluck table.
Set Up a Photo Booth
Ready to create some workplace memories? Setting up a photobooth is an excellent strategy for encouraging the team to kick back and enjoy themselves. Be sure to include a fun photo op, such as the American flag as a backdrop or a cutout of Uncle Sam. Props like paper sparklers or mini flags are also great additions to the mix.
American-Themed Games
When you’re hoping to spark some friendly competition, trivia is an awesome team building exercise. For a Fourth of July-themed game of trivia, consider including questions that run the gamut from revolutionary era knowledge to American inventions. To motivate the crowd, offer a prize for the winning team. Looking for another option? If you have access to an outdoor courtyard, take the party outside for a game of cornhole–bonus points for red, white, and blue cornhole boards or bean bags!
