3 Spirit Week Ideas for Work
Remember the best week of the whole year from school? That’s right, it was SPIRIT WEEK! Spirit week is typically the week before homecoming, when each day is themed, and there are great activities.
Here’s the secret: spirit week was all about creating culture. It was about involving everyone in the whole place in themed days, talent shows, and team-building activities that made us all feel like we were on the same team.
Why can’t we do spirit week at work?
Here’s another secret: we can totally do spirit week at work. And it works the same way as it did in school.
At work, spirit week is great for building company culture, for team building, and for encouraging employees to think of themselves as team members. Plus, spirit week activities work just as well for building remote teams as in-person ones.
How do I plan Spirit Week?
Make a spirit week committee. Get anyone involved who wants to help. If you get the right people planning your work spirit week, ideas will simply flow.
You can plan a week full of spirit days in a snap. Think inclusivity, accessibility, and camaraderie. And don’t be afraid to bring in some professional help!
What are some work spirit week ideas?
The great thing about spirit week themes for work is that they can be derived from anywhere. Here are 3 ideas for spirit week at your work.
Dress-up days
This idea can vary, depending on the nature of your business. It can be a lot of fun to have everyone dress as their favorite movie character or cartoon character. Perhaps everyone should wear the same color, their favorite color, or teams can be color-coded.
Does your company have swag? Have a “wear the logo” day.
Scavenger hunts
Scavenger hunts are always fun work spirit week ideas. In fact, we wrote a whole blog about them. We love scavenger hunts that involve finding answers online, or finding items in the workplace (or remote work space) and snapping a photo with them.
Play Office Games
At Bar None Games, we love hosting games for remote or hybrid offices. We get excited as we see teams come together to play trivia, play word games, or rock those scavenger hunts.
We offer several great options that can easily be incorporated into your work spirit week.
If variety is your thing, then our Triathlon is a great idea. Here, your work-from-home teams can face off in a series of fun, collaborative, and culture-building games that allow them to play WITH each other, and not only against each other.
Our hosted Trivia games are also perfect ideas for Spirit Week at work. We feature small teams working together, and unique content that gets everyone involved.
The best work spirit week idea is to let us help.
