Organize a Beer Olympics for Your Next Corporate Event
Looking for your next corporate team-building event? Why not consider beer olympics as a fun morale booster for the entire office? Beer Olympics may sound juvenile, but there are many reasons why it could be your next great idea.
Loosening Up!
First off, there is drinking involved. What better way to loosen up your co-workers than to get a couple of drinks in them? Do it on a Friday after a long week so people can blow off some steam, and get to know one each other on a more friendly level. If team-building events are necessary, you should at least make them fun and get everyone a little buzzed in the process.
The Competitive Nature!
The competition aspect of Beer Olympics can not be overlooked. Although the drinking games you play may be silly it almost always turns out that people will get really competitive about them, making team-building a cinch. You could break up the teams by department, pinning accounting against human resources, or sales against management, etc. This will create a loyalty and allegiance to one’s own department while a friendly rivalry between departments will emerge. It may also be fun for each team to pick a country to represent, much like the actual Olympics. It just adds another dimension to the event and can be amusing to the participants.
Creativity!
Some possible games to include in your Beer Olympics are beer pong, flip cup, thumper, and quarters. Those are the basics, but we challenge you to create some of your own games based on your office and your company. If the venue is the office, then perhaps a paper toss turned drinking game. Or maybe some sort of elevator relay race. Last team up has to drink! Be creative. Look around your workspace and come up with clever games you can play right there in the office.
Choose Beer Olympics for your next corporate event and you will be pleasantly surprised at the boost in morale it will bring to the entire office, as well as a friendlier atmosphere. Water cooler talks will be way more interesting after learning what a tank Pamela from HR is.
If you need to practice your skills in order to take down the sales team at the next corporate Beer Olympics, remember the Village Pourhouse offers beer pong and flip cup all week long. Feel free to come in and start your training. Also think about booking a private room at Village Pourhouse as the venue for your next Olympics if your office doesn’t suit your needs. It might be a wise choice as you can have all the fun and not have to worry about cleaning up!
