Have your employees been exceeding your expectations lately? Perhaps they have been going above and beyond when it comes to working ethic and representation of the company’s values and mission statement. This is a good time to reward them with a day of relaxation and recreation, in other words, a field day. This can also be useful, if the morale in the workplace has been a little lacklustre or mediocre, to give a little encouragement to your counterparts. Employers all over the world use techniques like this to increase productivity and improve overall performance among their employees. The field day can include various games and entertainment such as dunk tanks, bounce houses, live music, and varieties of food. You can also allocate trophies in order to recognize their hard work and efforts on the job.

Here are some games that you can set up at your field day.

Kickball

You can play a game of kickball. Kickball is virtually the same game like baseball. The only variation is that the ball being used is a rubber ball. The size of a soccer ball and you kick the ball with your feet instead of hitting it with a bat. Players still have to circulate all 3 bases in order to score a point for the team.

Water Balloon Volleyball

You can play water balloon volleyball by setting up a volleyball net and establishing teams on the court. Acquire water balloons and fill them up with water. Divide the teams into two separate groups and the games can begin! The rules are the same as regular volleyball except when you will be using a water balloon as the volleyball and whoever the water balloon breaks on does not get a point while the other team does.

Scavenger Hunt

A good old-fashioned scavenger hunt is a great game to play with your employees on field day. This exercise will stimulate your employee’s minds as well as add an element of fun and mystery into the mix. The adult scavenger hunt can consist of several objectives. You can organize a hunt that is themed around your job field requiring the participants to find things that have to do with your company and take a picture of themselves with the item or in the specific scenery. The second idea you can also use when engaging in the scavenger hunt is making participants search for certain pre-placed cue cards that will lead them to various rewards of your discretion.

Water Balloon Tag

Field Day is tied in with being outside in the natural air and hot daylight, making water-themed activities an absolute necessity! For this activity, have employees pair off and line up around 6 feet from each other. First employees hurl their balloon and the individuals who don’t drop their balloon remain in the game. Keep playing until there is just a single group of employees left.

Noodle Javelin

Join rings into a brilliant focus for noodle lances, Frisbees, soccer balls, and then some. Stakes keep the objective standing, and on the off chance that you don’t have noodle rings, the tape can hold an alternative ring set up. You can, likewise, lay the station on the ground to play hopscotch or beanbag hurl or to utilize it as a feature of an obstacle course.

Food ideas You can use a variety of different food. You can take a poll to see which food style your employees prefer before you have everything set up, or you can see if they would be interested in participating in a potluck where they can each cook a dish and come into collaboration with the entire office. Make sure each person has labelled their pots or pans with their name for easy clean-up after. Potlucks are actually the best. Nobody needs to do anything excessively. Everyone can bring a dish: a salad, a main course, or dessert. Everybody knows there will be something at the field day that they can eat. While it is not much simpler than having a potluck, having something catered is even easier.
