It is important that during the lead up to the end of the year you are keeping your teams engaged and motivated, and this can be harder as everything slows down. The best way to optimise team performance in the later months of the year is to bring everyone together and do something together that is not work-related, and taking part in fun work activities for Christmas is a great way to refresh and rejuvenate your team members.
Organising Christmas team building activities in the office is a great way to show your team that they matter and keep them refreshed at work even when the year draws to a close.
We have a wide range of Christmas team building games for work and Christmas games for team meetings that you could use in your workplace with your team members.
We know how hard it can be to think of Christmas games for team meetings and office Christmas team-building activities, so we have put together a list of our top fun work activities for Christmas to inspire you.
In Christmas Charades, two teams compete against each other. To begin, compile a list of Christmas phrases or song titles (i.e. decorating the tree, decking the halls, roasting chestnuts, rocking around the Christmas tree etc..) Each team then selects a team member to choose a phase at random and act out the phrase without speaking. The team then guesses what the phase is within a time limit to earn a point. The team with the most points wins!
In this Christmas quiz, team members compete for points for correct answers when guessing the titles of Christmas classics, only all the titles are represented by emojis! This fun and quick quiz is one of the perfect Christmas team-building games for work, allowing team members to demonstrate their knowledge and create some light-hearted competition, and it mixes the day up with something new and fun to take part in.
Sometimes you don’t need to prepare office Christmas team building activities, you can announce a Christmas competition!

No fun work activities for Christmas would be complete without a Christmas quiz!

Fun Christmas games for team meetings don’t have to be difficult, can your team spot a Christmas carol in just a few seconds?

If you want to get your team members up and moving, then a scavenger hunt is always a great office Christmas team building activity.

Get your team members more involved in their office Christmas team building activities by hosting a Christmas Cake Off.

One of the best Christmas games for team meetings is a festive-themed pictionary. Divide employees into a few teams.

Get creative with your Christmas games for team meetings by hosting a snowflake design contest.
