It’s the middle of the summer season, and although it’s coming to an end, we can still make the most of it and enjoy a few more weeks of sunshine. One way to optimise the excellent weather is to have an outdoor event – a celebration of summer, for one, and perhaps a celebration of an organisation or a corporate family day. When it comes to corporate family days, we all know that it can be surprisingly fun – or it could be an incredibly boring affair! So if you are planning a corporate day and would like to make it fun and exciting for everyone involved, here are the top three ideas for the best outdoor fun for your corporate family day.
- Hold a concert outdoors
There’s nothing like a concert to get everyone moving and grooving to the music, and you can hire a famous band or musical performer to set the mood. The concert itself serves as your entertainment, so you don’t have to do anything anymore to keep your attendees entertained. If you want, you can still have some activities during the intermissions or the break between sets, and of course, your outdoor concert wouldn’t be complete without food and drinks. Your best bet would be to serve the food and drinks after the show, and it also gives everyone the chance to bond. It will be an evening to remember with great music, fantastic food, and total camaraderie.
- Host a picnic
Another brilliant idea many companies have done before – but still works – is hosting a company picnic. With a picnic, you have a relaxed and casual atmosphere, and everyone can let their hair down. And the good thing about hosting a picnic is that you can have different activities in which everyone can participate – and bring their kids, too. It’s a day for the whole family, which your staff can appreciate even more. For instance, you can hire a bouncy castle for the kids, dodgem cars and game booths for the teens and adults, and even a Ferris wheel or roller coaster for everyone. It’s easy to take your pick from a good selection of fairground rides and attractions, and a fairground stall hire company will ensure you have all the rides and stalls you need.
Then you can set up picnic tables where people can sit and relax and perhaps watch a magician performing tricks or a balloon maker (which is often a big hit with the kids). You can have plenty of activities and games at a picnic, and the best part is that your employees can have fun with their entire families.
- Have a field day
If you have a sporty and active bunch of individuals, why not have a field day for the company? It gives you another great opportunity to bond, and you can cap off a day of sports competitions with a barbecue. Some popular games you can play with everyone include a potato sack race, a relay race, a tug of war, an egg toss, and a dunking game. You can even hire some ready-made games (such as a ball in the bucket game and test your strength game) to see who gets to win – and the winners can take home a prize.
