Christmas is approaching, are you ready?  

With Christmas is just around the corner, companies are welcoming the festive day with some twinkle lights and a big Christmas tree at the office corner. Everything will be decorated in red and candy canes can be found easily in the office refrigerator. But the most fun thing about Christmas is that it demonstrates togetherness and affection among families, friends, and colleagues. What about you? Can you feel the Christmas vibe already?

Game #7  Ramped up 

What you need: ping pong balls, 3 plastic cups, and a stick 

How to play: 

• Prepare the game by dividing the table into two with a stick (using drum stick is okay or any stick available in your workplace). One for the starting point and the other for the goal point. Glue the plastics bottle on the edge of tables 
• Divide your team into two groups 
• Each group should have its own table to play 
• Each member of the group should try to enter the ball into the plastic cups by either bounce the ball or flicking it 
• Team with the most balls is the winner
