1. Gift Exchange Game


The gift exchange game is a classic at holiday parties and always generates plenty of laughs and excitement. Everyone brings a small gift, which is wrapped. You take turns rolling a die, and whenever someone rolls a six, they get to take a gift from the center. To make the game even more thrilling, you can set a timer, so once time is up, everyone keeps the gifts they have.

2. Party Rules


Adding a fun twist to the party is as easy as introducing some rules to follow throughout the evening. For instance, one rule could be that you’re not allowed to say a specific word, or you must always drink with your left hand. If someone breaks the rules, they get a “penalty,” like taking a sip of beer or schnapps. This creates lots of laughter and adds a competitive edge to the party.

3. Musical Chairs


Musical chairs is a timeless favorite. Line up chairs, one fewer than the number of participants, and when the music stops, everyone must find a chair. The person who doesn’t find a chair is out, and one chair is removed each round. It’s a simple, fun game that always brings out the laughs!

4. Quiz


A quiz is always a great way to get people engaged. You can create questions about the past year, the company’s history, or anything else. You could even use a Kahoot quiz, where everyone participates through their smartphones. A quiz is not only fun but also a fantastic way to encourage interaction among colleagues.

5. Award Show


Host an internal award show with funny titles like “Employee of the Year,” “Blunder of the Year,” or “Most Punctual Employee.” It creates lots of laughs while also giving the opportunity to recognize colleagues in a lighthearted way. Adding a bit of drama can turn the show into one of the night’s highlights.

6. Note Under the Plate


Before the party starts, place a note under each plate with a small task to be carried out discreetly during the evening. Tasks can range from complimenting a colleague to getting everyone at the table to toast. Once everyone has completed their tasks, you can award a small prize to the most creative execution. This is a great way to spark fun and lively conversations at the tables.

7. Team Challenges


Divide the employees into teams and give them different challenges. This could be anything from building the tallest tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows to solving puzzles together. The challenges can be tailored to be both physical and mental, ensuring everyone can participate. For added fun, try keeping your challenges secret from the other teams.

8. Kahoot


Kahoot is a fun and interactive quiz platform where everyone can participate from their smartphones. Create a quiz about the company, employees, or the year’s events and see who knows the most. It’s an easy way to get everyone involved and always brings lots of energy to the room.
