What’s better than a tasty (and free) lunch? Getting to learn some cool facts as you eat. Invite a guest speaker to come and teach your team about something related to the holiday so everyone can leave with a full belly and a stimulated mind.

This one is a classic, and for a good reason; who doesn’t love seeing all those crazy costumes? Create a team-building activity by grouping people together and assign them a theme! You can keep this pretty concrete (iconic musical groups) or take a more abstract approach (think Met Gala themes). Then, have everyone vote on the best costumes.

Connect with nature and plant some pumpkins (or other plants of your choosing). This is a relaxing and stress-relieving Halloween of?ce activity for moody fall days. You don’t need a green thumb or gardening experience to enjoy this.

Halloween weather is often ideal for getting outside while you can. Take this time to better the environment by hosting a clean-up at a park or a beach near you. Want to incorporate more of the holiday? Challenge your workers to make eco-friendly costumes from items they would usually just toss at home.

Allow your team to embrace the season and enhance their home with fall wreath making. Create in-season decor that brings autumn colors to life. Once everyone is done, get your team to display their creations for each other to show off their artistic approaches.

Combine the company Halloween party with a fundraiser or drive. It’s a great way to give back to the community while bringing the team together. Look for a specific charity to contribute to or ask for seasonal items to be donated, such as winter coats, gloves, and scarves, allowing you to help the less fortunate get through the cold weather that is around the corner.

It’s the bingo you love but kicked up a notch. Instead of letters and numbers, you let the music guide you. Each person gets two bingo cards, and by selecting Halloween music, you keep it perfectly on theme. Enjoy the holiday, build your team, and discover some new tunes along the way. 

Inject some life into your office with some Halloween-themed décor. You can do this yourself or get the whole team involved. We suggest selecting a theme (Pumpkin Patch, Haunted House, etc.) and splitting people up into teams, assigning them a specific area to decorate. This helps bring in team-building while also ensuring the whole office is in the spirit of the season.

Halloween is infused with a creative spirit. So, why not embrace that with some group painting sessions?

Time to embrace your Pinterest side! Host a Halloween-themed lunch, pot-luck style. Invite everyone to bring in a spooky dish of their choosing – eyeball mac-n-cheese, dirt cake, or whatever else fits the bill. It’s a great way to get creative while making the most of mealtimes during the workday.

Harness those competitive spirits with some Halloween-themed trivia. Pump up the energy with dynamic hosting, music, and graphics. Bring in some team building by having employees play in groups. To add an extra layer of fun, invite everyone to wear their costumes. 

If your team was trapped somewhere, could they escape? Find out with a virtual escape room! Each team member will get the chance to show off their creative thinking and problem-solving skills as well as develop their collaborative spirit. 

Halloween is an often-overlooked holiday when it comes to volunteering and serving others. However, there is a need for help at all times of the year. Look for opportunities to assist at local shelters, nursing homes, and other places where people can use a helping hand. Take this time to bond as a team while doing something worthwhile for the community.

Here’s an amusing idea to get the whole department in on the Halloween celebration. Have a little fun by giving your team the chance to mummy their own boss. It’s simple, silly, and sure to give everyone a good laugh.

Halloween is known for candy and sugar. But that doesn’t mean you can’t put your health first. Make healthy sweet chocolate for a Halloween treat at the of?ce while learning all about how sugar impacts the body. You don’t have to cut back on sweets to enhance your health.

Skip the chain coffee shops and instead learn how to make those PSLs yourself. From selecting the perfect blend to trying out some latte art, there is a lot you can incorporate to make this a truly rewarding experience.
