For the next three weeks, we’re encouraging companies and teams to participate in our Baudville Games competition. Not only do the participants have a chance to win $200 in Baudville product every week, but the Games provide an opportunity to improve employee engagement, team morale, and your office fun factor.

We’ve created four events for your team to complete: Rubber Band Archery, Binder Clip Diving, Mental Gymnastics, and Office Soccer. Each event is simple to host and requires only a few supplies you already have in your office, like rubber bands and binder clips. We’ve created a few extra tools to make your events go off without a hitch.

Baudville Games Posters – Generating anticipation is one of the most important elements of hosting a great event. Download and print these posters to get your entire team excited about the upcoming competitions!

Rubber Band Archery Target – Are you behind on your Baudville Games event? You can still challenge your team to an event of aim and skill by playing Rubber Band Archery. Download our target to create an official playing field.



Mental Gymnastics Cards – In mental gymnastics, participants have to act out the different Olympic events. We’ve put together a set of cards for you, so all you have to do it print, cut, and play!


Office Soccer – Having the best equipment is a big part of the Olympics, and we have the same priorities for the Baudville Games!  Download our Office Soccer page and crumple it to create your ball for the shoot out.



Office Games eBook – Does your team love the events in the Baudville Games? Keep the fun going this summer with even more events! We’ve compiled all our favorite office games events and put them into a free eBook for your reference. Download the eBook today and plan your next games soon!

Happy Friday! Today is a special Friday at Baudville because we’re celebrating Employee Appreciation Day. If you saw Brad’s earlier post, you know that we’re hosting the Summer Olympics a little early at the ‘ville. In honor of our Olympic Employee Appreciation Day, I have an Olympic-inspired High Five for Friday, too! Enjoy!

1. Summer Olympics in London. I love the Olympics! The bonus this year will be all the lovely British accents we hear! The games officially start on July 27, so mark your calendar!  

2. Baudville’s Guide to the Olympics. In 2010, we hosted the Winter Olympics at Baudville, and employees raved about the events. We’ve made all the event details and instructions available in our Recognition Resource Center, so you can host your own event.

3. Cupcakes. I have cupcakes on the BRAIN recently and am thinking about baking some delicious treats of my own this week. If you’re looking for some cupcake inspiration, take a quick stop at the blog Kevin & Amanda. This one in particular is calling my name!  

4. Celebration! Cinemas. I had the privilege of visiting Celebration! Cinemas this week and learning more about their culture. Each week, they have a ”Time Out” meeting where managers give updates on their goals and metrics. At the end, everyone shared a “liked best” for the meeting and gave major kudos to one another. It’s a great idea for any meeting!

5. Employee Appreciation Day! Employee Appreciation Day is always a fun event at Baudville, but this year the event has been taken up a notch! Check out all the gifts we received this morning!

I hope you're having a great Friday and Employee Appreciation Day!
