Every summer, I plan a Team luncheon for the staff at my childcare center. The purpose of the luncheon is to inspire the staff to have fun together and get to know each other, especially the new staff. Also, I have an amazing team and I want to show them that I appreciate them.
Team Learning Days
Last year I hosted my 1st team building luncheon with my Georgia location at a local New Orleans inspired restaurant and we had a wonderful time. This year, I will host a luncheon at a Caribbean inspired restaurant that will include some Caribbean drinks and some fun team building games.
I am writing this blog post because I want to inspire you to build the team of your dream and to share with you some fun ways to build a team that loves to work together:
- Set up a group chat where the staff can post positive inspirational messages and where important staff reminders are posted. ** Nothing negative
- Plan team luncheons or dinners and play fun games at least twice a year. ** This could include a Fun Christmas party.
- Hold a monthly potluck. * Food brings everyone together
- Hold contest often where staff can compete with one another and offer prizes. ** Competition is a great motivator.
Please be sure to let me know if you have tried any of the ideas that I have shared above. Also, if you any ideas, feel free to comment on this post.
Happy Team Building!
