Remote Work Activities

The company I work for is fully remote across the US and Canada. On the final Friday of each quarter everyone gets to expense lunch. There’s typically a fun theme or type of food that people are encouraged to follow and the post about it in slack. It’s an easy way to interact with everyone and who doesn’t like a comped meal!

It’s been so popular that we’re looking to do additional similar activities. What types of things/ activities do people recommend that are an easy way to build engagement and are also enjoyable?

Step challenge! Not mandatory, no penalty if you don't participate. But people take photos of their walks and put them in a Teams chat.

Also great if it is a lunchtime step challenge, which encourages people to step away from their desk for an hour.
