Summer Staff Outing - Game ideas? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Darsa · 08-31-2009, 10:05 AM

Hey there

Our office, consisting of a total of 13 people, the youngest of whom is 35, oldest is 65, is going to a local Lake (State Park) for a staff outing this Wednesday. Planned for it last Thursday; nothing like good ol' procrastination!

Anyway! One person is bringing a beanbag toss, another is bringing a cribbage board and cards. Can anyone toss any suggestions my way as to other games that these people might enjoy? There is a lovely huge lawn in front of the lake, and a sandy area and a paved parking area as well, tho I can't imagine we'd be able to play on the parking lot

I'm bringing a Frisbee, I'm just not sure how many of them would be able to do the running, jumping and catching it involves...

Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Along with thoughts of GOOD weather!

Get two tarps, about 3x5, since your group is small. Each tarp needs to be two colors, such as brown on one side, and blue on the other. Divide into two teams, and have each team stand on their tarp. They have to turn the tarp over with everyone in their team not stepping on the grass. If anyone steps onto the grass, the team starts over.

We did this with our office of 25, and it was hilarious!

Go get a few kid floor puzzles, the kind with 8 to 10 giant pieces. Divide into teams, everyone gets blindfolded, each team is given a puzzle, and the team to put it together correctly (right side up!) first wins.
