Halloween isn’t an occasion that is huge in the UK, but it is getting more popular. Here at Elite Events ECL we have helped office blocks of multiple businesses celebrate Halloween together. After all, it’s about having a bit of fun. This can really help with team bonding and relationship building too.
Below we have put together some ideas that you can use to celebrate Halloween in your office. However, if you need any help pulling off these great events and activities, call our team. We specialise in event planning, team building, activity organising and more. Our event organisers will be only too happy to help you plan your team activity.
- Team Costumes
If you have a large organisation, why not set a challenge for each team? Each team can choose a different Halloween costume idea. This could be superheroes, Halloween film characters, spooky ghosts, scary witches and more. Let this Halloween be a time that your team can show their creative skills. You’ll be surprised at the results, and it will really help your team bond too.
- Pumpkin Carving
Pumpkin carving is great fun, but as adults we don’t get to do it as much. Why not have a pumpkin carving competition. Show off the results in your office windows so local businesses can see what a great fun business you are. Pop the pictures on social media too. This will boost your reach and show the people behind the business.
- Apple Bobbing
Maybe a game for the end of the day as staff members are likely to get wet! Fill up a large tub with water and add apples. Employees take turns bobbing for apples by popping their heads in the water. To make this even more fun, why not have a letter, number or colour on the bottom of the apple. This could then get the ‘winner’ a longer lunch break, teas made for them all week or an early finish on a Friday?
- Volunteer Opportunity
Instead of just celebrating Halloween in the office, why not spread the celebrations. You could support a Halloween activity at a local charity or care home for example. It’s a really nice way for colleagues to work together while doing some good for the community. This really helps build better relationships within the business and within the community. Here at Elite Events ECL we support a lot of local community organisations and charities. We can connect you with some of these and set up an event or activity for you.
