It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – and it looks like the COVID-19 pandemic mayjust turn out to be the Grinch for the festivities this year.
But while most of us will be driving (and staying) home for Christmas, that doesn’t
mean that Santa needs to socially distance or that Christmas office events can’t happen
With a little help from Outdoor Living, Santa and his elves have gone online this year, to
help you kick-start the Christmas celebrations with your colleagues, no matter where
they are.
“We are delighted to have launched a new series of Christmas-themed online events to
help spread a little festive cheer for everyone in Malta at the end of this difficult year,”
says Danica Fava, co-founder of Outdoor Living, Malta’s largest and longest-running
teambuilding events company. “We hope that taking part in these fun and unforgettable
experiences will become a new Christmas tradition that every year brings together co-
workers in Malta and around the world.”
As part of the Catalyst Global network – the top 50 teambuilding providers worldwide
that collaborate to deliver high quality events – Outdoor Living has created an exclusive
range of memory-making virtual Christmas activities, including one where you can
transform into Santa and his elves on Christmas night.
In ‘Race Around the World – Festive Edition’, everyone connects online in a breakout
room and elects a ‘Santa’ while the rest become elves, before starting a race to take on
hilarious challenges and deliver toys to children in as many countries as possible in one
night.
You could also boost your collection of frameable photographs through ‘A Picture-
Perfect Christmas’, where everyone needs to use whatever props or costumes they have
to-hand at home to recreate famous Christmas-themed photographs. More photo-based
hilarity can be found in ‘Swipe Face’, where participants are challenged to imitate poses,
with just 30 seconds to take the perfect selfie.
Perhaps you and your colleagues could become the ultimate Christmas choir in ‘E-
Choir’. Here, everyone receives vocal coaching to record their individual performance
on their phone before all parts are carefully mixed by a professional producer to create
a one-of-a-kind final track. Working together never tasted so good in another activity
where every participant is sent a gingerbread house kit to complete at home through
the game, while those who enjoy card games may also enjoy an online poker
tournament with live dealers.
For many, no Christmas is complete without a Christmas quiz – and there are three new
online events that can help you keep up that tradition. In ‘Quickfire Christmas Teams’, teammates need to spontaneously complete mental, physical and creative challenges,
while in ‘Music Bingo &Trivia’ your colleagues can take part in a customised bingo
game of holiday songs and trivia. For the full gameshow experience, your teams can
also compete in a fast-paced and energetic virtual quiz led by a specialised gameshow
host in ‘The Big Christmas Quiz Live’.
