An Office Party to Scream About

With Halloween being next week (already?!), we thought we could share some tips on how to have some killer fun in the office. Based on our highly scientific research on office celebrations, here are some surefire ways to make working on Friday, the 31^st, spooktacular.

• Frightening food – Ask everyone to make a scary looking snack or dessert and bring it to the office to share. Vote on the freakiest looking food! Bloody Witch Fingers anyone? OR have everyone make something for a pot luck lunch, but here’s the trick: the food is only allowed to be orange, black, yellow, or green.
• Create a photo booth – This is always a hit. String up some orange lights and cobwebs as your background, then get creative! Have a box full of masks, witch hats, and other Halloween décor for people to use as props.
• Pumpkin carving – Work as a team (or break off into smaller groups) and carve a pumpkin together. If you don’t want to deal with pumpkin guts and sharp knives, have a pumpkin decorating contest. Bring in a box of crafting items and go to town! It will be a lot of fun and a great team building activity.
• Go trick-or-treating – Halloween is about the candy after all. Encourage everyone to put out candy on their desks so other coworkers can mingle and trick-or-treat without leaving the office.
• Allow your staff to wear costumes or Halloween-inspired outfits… Because everyone wants to walk into their office with a black cape on at least once, right?!

What ways do you celebrate Halloween? We would love to hear some of your ideas!
