Bring Summer Camp to the office!

Here at The Go Game, we're all about bringing more play and connection to the world. So when we learned about Camp Grounded, we felt that a natural partnership was bound to form.

To kick off that partnership, we became a sponsor for this year's camp, sent a few of our awesome team members to check it out, and brought our infamous zorb balls with us for a little fun.

Going to camp got us thinking about small ways YOU can bring some summer camp fun to your own office:

1. When you need to create nametags, use a superhero name or a nickname instead of your own. I mean, wouldn't you smile if someone introduced herself to you as Beyonce(not ironically)? Or "Always Hungry"?
2. Stage an office chair race at lunch.
3. "Stealth-disco" a coworker on a conference call: Sneak behind an unsuspecting colleague and dance behind them while another coworker takes a quick video on their phone.
4. Take a quick play-break for trivia (there are lots of great questions online).
5. Buy a hula hoop and keep it near your desk. If you absolutely can't leave your computer because you're expecting an urgent email, or you're a salesperson who answers phones, then you can simply stand up and hula hoop for 2 minutes. It's not only fun, but over time your abs will look AMAZING.
6. To show one of your coworkers that you appreciate him or her, make a simple scavenger hunt that takes that person around the office. You can leave paper clues in planters, under someone's keyboard, behind the coffee machine, or taped to a bathroom stall. Finish it off with a small gift, like a hand-written card that expresses your gratitude to be able to work with them.
