Planning a Fun & Inexpensive Work Gathering: The Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Social

Ice Cream Socials are a Great Way to Reconnect at the Workplace

Yes, it’s November and rather chilly in most parts of the country.  But what better time to plan a little break in the daily routine!  I’m talking ice cream social – bowls, cones, hot fudge, neapolitan, rocky road, and all your coworkers.  There’s nothing like a moment to chat with your office mates or get better acquainted with other departments, even shut the production line down and hand out the cones, to help everyone refocus and reconnect.  The excitement of changing the pace can actually energize your work staff, make them feel appreciated, and reminding them the workplace can be enjoyable too!

What you need:  Simple stuff here:  Bowls and spoons, ice cream scoops, perhaps some cones.  Marischino cherries, hot fudge, chopped nuts, perhaps whipped cream.  A couple of flavors of ice cream, even a low fat or frozen yogurt variety if that’s how your group rolls.  

Give ‘em a Reminder:  For an extra bit of fun, provide the group with ice cream scoops sporting the company logo.  They’ll remember the event – and the company – next time they dig into a pint of Ben and Jerry’s at home.  Add an appropriate motto to the scoop such as “Digging in Together” or “(Company Name) Employees are Cool!”  

Remember, it’s not always the big fancy hullabaloo that’s needed.  Just a break in routine, a reason to get together, and the simple reminder to employees that they’re thought of and appreciated.
