As the year winds down, it’s easy for motivation to dip. But it’s also a great time to re-energise your team with some festive fun. Organising Christmas games for work meetings or taking part in fun work activities is a great way to boost morale, build stronger connections, and end the year on a high note.

As workloads begin to wrap up and the year draws to a close, team building at Christmas offers a welcome break from the daily routine. Arranging some festive team building activities around the office is a brilliant way to show your team that they are valued, which is key to a productive and happy team culture. Whether you’re after fun games for team meetings or creative Christmas team building activities, there are plenty of ways to bring some festive spirit into the workplace.

How to Plan a Christmas Team Building Activity

Before diving into ideas, it is worth taking a moment to think about what activity will suit your team best. Start by considering the size of your team, how much time you have, and the budget you have to work with.

It’s also important to consider your team’s preferences. While some may like a bit of friendly competition, others may prefer a more social or creative activity. Mixing a few different types of activities can help make sure that there’s something for everyone.

Once you have a rough idea of what you’re aiming for, the rest is easy. Choose an activity that fits the mood, set a time, and enjoy spreading a little festive cheer into the office.

We know how hard it can be to think of Christmas games for work meetings or office Christmas team-building activities, so we have put together a handy list of our top fun work activities for Christmas to inspire you.

1. Christmas Charades

In Christmas Charades, two teams compete against each other to guess the most Christmas phrases or song titles (i.e. decorating the tree, decking the halls, roasting chestnuts, rocking around the Christmas tree etc..)

3. Christmas Jumper Competition

Sometimes, you don’t need to prepare big and grand office Christmas team building activities on a daily basis… you can simply announce a Christmas jumper competition! All that is needed for this is for team members to show up to work in their very best – or worst Christmas jumper, and then a set of judges can decide who has the best or most Christmas-themed jumper.

4. Christmas Trivia
