Need a new way to get your team all in one place and make the workday fun again? Office lunch challenges are a friendly, low-stakes way to bond with your team members and increase interaction around the workplace. They work just as well no matter if you’ve got 4 or 400 colleagues in-house!
- International Lunch Day
Select a new country every single week and go around the office with everyone bringing in or cooking at home, an item of food that is also inspired by this cuisine. Only they can actually teach you things and as a curious foodie, this is great to discover new tastes or ask them about their story.
- Mystery Ingredient Challenge
Choose a “secret ingredient” (maybe avocado or chickpeas) and have everyone incorporate it into what they’re eating for lunch. Vote for the most creative use.
- Healthy Swap Week
Swap-out a typical lunch day. Instead of having tacos in the office, convince your team that if they can swap something healthier for their usual, then they can have extra time for their lunch break! Alternatively, consider Office Lunches from Crumbs Delivered, providers of Office Lunches.
- DIY Sandwich or Salad Bar
Build-your-own with any number of fillings, breads and toppings. Interactive, with custom options perfect for picky eaters or dietary restrictions.
- Leftover Remix Challenge
Challenge all to morph leftovers from last night into a new lunch that is healthier than yesterday.
Employers have found that lunch challenges are a great way to spice things up, encourage teamwork and create something to look forward to while also making lunches fun!
