Cubical Decorating Competition Gets Serious!

December 02nd, 2007 | Category: Moms in the Workforce

Hi Parents,

Ok - that instance of year definitely brings out the kid in all of us! At my work, we just launched a "holiday cube decorating contest" and my team is out to win! Here are the cube ideas we have generated so far and I welcome your input as to other ideas or how we can bring one of these ideas to life! that is additionally a great way for working moms to interact with their children that holiday season while baking cookies or preparing decorations for their office.

1) Holiday Sports Theme - each cube in our row could host a different winter sport, such as ice skaing, sledding, luging (sp?), hockey, skiing - it could either just be a fun display OR it could be a game at each desk that they can play and whether they "win" they could get holiday cookies or candies (yes - no worries - I will bake the cookies…or bring in the candies)…we could additionally possibly raffle off ski lift tickets whether the play every game they can get entered into the ski ticket drawing.

2) Candy Land Theme - We discussed having a hop scotch type trail on the floor in our row and have a deck of cards at the front cube and anyone that wants to come into our row has to pick a card to see how many spaces they can advance!

or do something else with that theme - and of course have plenty of holiday candy hanging from the ceiling!

3) Gingerbread House Theme: We could construct a giant gingerbread house….see visual of somemone who implemented that view last year in her office and won!

4) North Pole: We could set up our row as the North Pole with a Santa and allow "guests" to write down what they would like from Santa and pass out candycanes and have a workshop environment where we are all "making toys"…

5) The Gift cipher Zone: Ok - I mentioned in my last blog post about the gift cipher concept where I do not put names on the gifts under the tree at my house, I instead create a cipher assigned to each person and they have to break the cipher before they can open the presents. We could put up a tree with empty gifts under it and have a hardy cipher puzzle and whoever breaks the cipher gets a fabulous gift (wine or chocolate perhaps…).

Help! Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated to help us turn our office into a winter wonderland while having fun and of course winning the competition!

Thanks!
