Published on 18 Oct 2023 by Alex ten Klei

Walking outside in the morning, you can smell the weather changing. Autumn may have the most recognizable scent of all the seasons. You will taste the autumn if you stand still and take a deep breath. That also means that Christmas is coming again. What are you going to do with your colleagues this year? In this article, you will find our top 5 Christmas activities. Two online, yes, that is still possible, and three live team-building programs.

Quickfire Festive online

The group is divided into teams, each with their break-out room. Via our special game app, you can choose various assignments that focus on Christmas. It is a competition, so the winner will be announced when we come together again in one plenary session.

Race ARound the World Festive

Race around the World Festive

Race around the World was our most successful program during Covid. It got us through this period and it is still a great activity. You will travel around the world in teams in separate break-out rooms, where you will complete assignments and discover how people around the world celebrate Christmas.

We use the Quickfire platform for a whole range of assignments. All are classified into active, creative and mental. As a team, you choose which category appeals to you most and then complete as many assignments as possible within the given time. At the end, there is a photo gallery of all the crazy and special photos teams submitted during the program. The winning team will also be announced.

Beat the Box Rescue Santa

Beat the Box and Rescue Santa

Our classic Beat the Box in a special Christmas version. Each team gets a large silver box on their table that is secured with a lock. As soon as this is open, more smaller suitcases follow and are also secured. By solving riddles and puzzles, you get closer to the end game. Here, you will find a surprising twist that will make you think differently about competition and goals.

Give Backpack

It is a fun and fresh activity where you work in teams to gradually collect the contents for a backpack that will be donated to a homeless person. Giving becomes a permanent part of the activity and together you make other people's lives a little more comfortable.

The dates around Christmas are always popular, and they fill up quickly. If you want to brainstorm what is possible for your organization, do not wait too long and contact us.
