Office tailgate party ideas wrapped into one event!

There’s no better bonding experience than a friendly, competitive round of classic games. Tailgating strengthens the sense of community while supporting your team and your organization. 

The basics are pretty simple – teams rotate through each activity, competing for the highest scores in each individual game. We feature popular games like Corn Hole, Ladder Ball, Kan Jam and Washer Toss. You can also include optional choices like Shuffleboard Golf, Pong-O, Pole-ish Horseshoes, Baggo and Rollors (we’ll explain all of these – just ask). A professional DJ supplies energy and attitude.

Once everyone has played, the entire group comes back together for a lighthearted closing ceremony. Awards? Definitely. Prizes? Sure, if you’d like. Smiles and happy memories? As many as your group can handle. This high-spirited event has all the makings of a perfect team building afternoon.
