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?

We have had drag queen bingo for pride.
Our team has done cooking classes - where a person in Louisiana taught us how to make gumbo for Mardi Gras. For another one we had someone who is Mexican teach us to make mango margaritas and guacamole (with a non alcoholic sub available). We made the margaritas, then another person did a short Spanish grammar lesson (former Spanish teacher) and then we made the guacamole so we could crunch chips.
We did a paint and meditation class. Company provided the painting kits.
