The expert artisans who run these activities provide all of the necessary materials needed, making it a seamless addition to any company event. So if you're ready to move away from two truths and a lie and really get people mingling and having fun at your next work event, try one (or a couple) of these alternative team activities in 2026!
For product launches
A product launch is a special occasion for employees, the media and even customers to come together to celebrate a new release. For your launch to stand out, it needs to be engaging and a little bit unique so that everyone will leave buzzing and spread the word among their extended circles. To keep things interesting, you should have some team activities planned that offer a good break between speeches, mingling and drinks. A private mobile cocktail class is a classic but very well-loved way of breaking the ice and keeping things interesting. Plus, you could make the cocktails themed to your brand or product!
Or perhaps something a bit more hands-on like an Ikebana class (the art of Japanese flower arranging) or a beginners clay hand building workshop is just what your product launch needs. Simply let the event's theme inspire what the attendees will make with the clay! Hands-on sessions like floristry classes and pottery workshops also alleviate the stress of small talk, as the communal act of making will give your guests the chance to bond through a shared experience. Understandably, pottery classes (especially clay and sip) are quickly becoming one of the most popular team building activities in Australia! The best part about booking a private experience for corporate events is that many of the activities can be customisable, so you can keep all things brand-focused and leave a lasting impression on everyone's minds.
For team building events
The best corporate team building activities encourage collaboration and cooperation between employees while still being fun. Teamwork really does make the dream work, so these activities should not be shrugged off as an obligation. Rather, companies should see them as an additional opportunity to show their employees how much they value their hard work by giving them a lighthearted break and helping them build connections with their colleagues along the way.
For a team building event to be really successful, it needs to reward good teamwork and encourage positive team behaviour. A corporate team activity that does this brilliantly is a fun cooking class. In this hands-on class, your team will be given ingredients to make culinary dishes all around the world. At the end of the cooking class, you can sit back, relax and be impressed by all the dishes you've made! By the end of the class, you'll all get to dig into your creations, so food is sorted and you barely have to lift a finger organising it!
Other great culinary team building activities are a dumpling cooking class or Indian cooking class. If cooking has been tried and tested in your company, a wheel throwing pottery workshop or sip and paint class are other great options.
Corporate entertainment
Corporate entertainment is a really effective way for companies to show their appreciation to employees. If you have company representatives or perhaps even a CEO or other senior employee visiting the office from interstate or overseas, it’s a good idea to break up the schedule and keep things entertaining during their visit. Corporate team activities can help local employees and company representatives to meet each other and bridge hierarchies in the workplace. A beginner’s small terrarium workshop is a great way to shake up the routine and, thanks to all of those amazing mental health benefits that come from being surrounded by plants, something beneficial for all employees to keep on their desks afterwards. This workshop can be brought to your workplace, with the teacher providing everything needed for the class. Or if you want to reward staff at the end of a long day, a cocktail mixology class is the perfect way to do so. This mobile class allows coworkers to chat and send off those visiting in style, with a cocktail in hand.
For Christmas parties
Christmas parties are a great way to show appreciation for your employees and celebrate the achievements at the end of the year. The key is to find a team building activity that lets everyone be included in the office. Luckily, we have a wide range of Christmas party ideas that your team will love! A paint and sip class allows coworkers to mingle while getting artistic and enjoying a beer or wine. Or a BBQ cooking class is something more alternative to try. After everyone has made their food, they get to sit down together and enjoy a delicious BBQ feast, all matched with a complimentary glass of wine. You could even try for a Christmas-themed event such as Christmas wreath making classes or Christmas baking to get employees into the festive spirit.
