I have been tasked to organise some activities for about 20 people in mid to late december. It's a work activity and are looking for some suggestions of some activities that i may be able to plan. I have been told to organise 2 half day events (About 4 hours each) and 1 full day event. They can be physical, mental or just plain fun.

I am open to ANY suggestions.

Organise an 'Amazing Race' around the city. Takes some preparation but can be a hoot if done properly.

Plenty of suggestions for activities and challenges online.

Also - there's a rock climbing joint near Holden Hill police station that's supposed to be pretty good for a group activity.

Just a couple I can think of off the top of my head.

rock climbing was my idea. The Holden Hill place is real good. could easily fill half a day there

Paintball is another good one.

If ya wanted to go something less physical, maybe 10 pin bowling or something??

Hey LTTF

For my 40th I organised a couple of hours at Amusement Worx. if they're pinball-y arcade game-y type people then go for that option. That's just one thought I had off the top of my head.

Scavenger hunts can be great fun. I organised one for my Squadron summer bbq years ago for something a bit different and they loved it.

Make a list of stuff they have to find, beg or borrow (obviously not steal)...can be almost anything from the useless like a feather, a button, a piece of string to evidence of something like proof they got a stranger to willingly hug them in the street (ie a photo on a mobile) or arrange with a shop/pub for them to go in, give a password and collect something to prove they did. The possibilities are endless.

Regards
JAS

Plenty of great idea's.

Really like the scavenger hunt idea. Might have to look in to that a little further. Also like the idea of shooting a few blokes at work for paintball.

Thanks everybody.


If people have anymore ideas please send away.
