PowerPoint Parties Are the Party Trend You Have to Try—Here's How to Host One

Try these clever PowerPoint party hosting tips and ideas for a fun night.

Lauren is a former editor at Real Simple and currently serves as a senior digital editor for Better Homes & Gardens.

All get-togethers are great, but PowerPoint parties have become popular for livening up in-person and virtual parties. PowerPoint nights give everyone something to contribute to the party's success (beyond a hostess gift ). And they're great for connecting with far-flung friends or family, as you can easily host it over Zoom or video chat.

The cool thing: All you need is a computer, a screen, and your friends' creativity to host a PowerPoint night that'll leave everyone laughing (and likely, looking to host their own PowerPoint party in the not-so-distant future). If you're ready to jump on the PowerPoint party trend, here's everything you need to know to host one of your own, plus plenty of ideas for PowerPoint presentations that will make you the hit of any party you attend.

What Is a PowerPoint Party?

A PowerPoint party takes the meeting and school presentation staple—the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or slideshow—and makes it fun, playful, and party-appropriate. PowerPoint party attendees craft and give presentations on topics of their choice. Drinking, themed costumes , Q&As, and other fun add-ons may also be included.

A PowerPoint party can also be done with Google Slides, Keynote (the presentation software from Apple available on iOS devices), or any other presentation tool—Microsoft PowerPoint is not required. PowerPoint parties are best kept to a small group of people—it's not an activity for a crowded rager—and can be enjoyed virtually or in person.

How to Host a PowerPoint Party

To plan and host a PowerPoint party, first, gather a select group of people you think will enjoy the party. PowerPoint parties aren't for everyone or every occasion—it's something best left for smaller groups of adults, young adults, and teens. If you want to include younger kids, consider pairing them with an adult or an older child with experience giving presentations; if you want to have larger groups, consider dividing them into teams to create presentations.

When you invite people, explain the expectations of the party. What's the time limit or slide limit for each presentation? What's the dress code? Is the PowerPoint party themed? If you're hosting the party virtually , send around the link to join the video call early and avoid technical difficulties. You can allow everyone to share their screen when presenting, or you can collect all the presentations and serve as the presenter.

Don't load up your slides with text. Use your slideshow for images, graphs, and keywords or phrases that help make your point. When presenting, don't just read what's on the screen; try to use notecards to make your argument. To ensure you rule at the PowerPoint party, take your presentation for a spin or two to fine-tune what you want to say.

PowerPoint Night Hosting Tips

If you're attending a PowerPoint party, your presentation can be whatever you want it to be. (Most PowerPoint parties should be goofy—in the topic or presentation.) Use PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote to fill your slideshow with images, charts, graphs, quotes, gifs, videos, and whatever else makes your point, and have fun with it. And don't be afraid to use all those weird effects that the apps offer that you never get to use in everyday work life. (Why not make that slide spin off into the ether?) Here are some other fun rules to incorporate.

Turn It Into a Drinking Game

Have presenters take a sip of their drink every time they say "um" or another filler word, or ask them to finish their drink in its entirety if their presentation extends beyond the allotted time. (Always drink responsibly, of course.) You could even pick an uncommon word or phrase—like "pink umbrella," for example—and if anyone works it organically into their presentation, the whole party has to drink.

If you're worried about people having the same topic, ask that everyone submit their topics to you ahead of time to avoid any duplicates.

Create a Dress Code

Take the party up a notch by enforcing a themed dress code. If everyone is presenting about historical figures, have them dress up like their chosen figure. You could also ask everyone to wear business attire or dress entirely in one color.

Consider Assigning Topics

While it's fun to let them use their imagination and share a wide array of presentations at your PowerPoint night, assigning a topic theme or a specific topic can give your party more structure and challenge your guests a little, too. They'll have to work up a passion for their given topic, and you can laugh at their efforts to make their presentations entertaining. (Bonus points if you choose extremely obscure topics, like how staples are made or where sand comes from.)

Award Prizes

To get everyone invested in your PowerPoint party, make it competitive. Find a great prize and create a scoring sheet with points for the quality of the presentation, the strength of the argument, choice of images, outfit choice, adherence to the time limit, and whatever other details you think are important. Have everyone score their fellow presenters (all in jest) after their presentation. The winner at the end gets the prize.

There isn't just a single Oscar awarded, is there? Consider offering prizes in an array of categories at your PowerPoint party— the wildest use of PowerPoint effects, most dedicated presenter, best costume, etc.

Share Presentations

Once your PowerPoint party is over, consider sending out the various presentations (with permission, of course) to everyone on the guest list. Attendees can relive their favorite moments and those who attended virtually can better see the fun. Who knows? Maybe they'll be inspired to host their own PowerPoint get-together.

30 PowerPoint Party Theme Ideas

Ready to host your very own themed PowerPoint party? While the Drink, Talk, Learn (DTL) PowerPoint party—in which everyone chooses a topic they're passionate about, with no themes or restrictions—is a classic option, if you want to choose a party theme , check out some clever PowerPoint night ideas below.

• Drunk history: Presenters choose a historical figure or event and present about it. Have everyone dress like their figure or era, and encourage people to have a drink or two before their presentation to make it really interesting.
• The best [whatever] of all time: Every presenter picks a movie, TV show, video game, board game, fictional character, food, city, etc., and everyone makes the case that their pick is the best one of all time. Keep topic selections within the same genre to spark a little friendly competition.
• Conspiracy theories: Have everyone select a conspiracy theory and present it to convince everyone that it could indeed be true.
• Assigning characters: All presenters pick a category—it could be dogs, foods, characters in a movie, TV show, or book, whatever—and explain who everyone would be in each group. (This is best done within a close-knit group of friends.) Presenters could explain which Harry Potter or The Office character everyone might be or which type of pasta noodle they'd be. The opportunities are endless.
• Who survives? Rate your friends on their survival skills in several dangerous events, such as The Hunger Games, a slasher movie, or a zombie apocalypse. Be sure to share how each pal at the PowerPoint party meets their bitter end and who will survive the longest (and how).
• Over/underrated: Each guest shares their hot take on something overrated or underrated—and shares their reasoning behind it. It can be something from pop culture, foods, a beauty product, a fashion trend, or even a hobby.
• Cast the movie of your life: Choose who would lay your parents, your friends, your mate—and you! (Be sure to assign celebs for each of the attendees that you know, of course.)
• Biggest regrets: Reveal it all, from highlights gone wrong to spring break shenanigans to major parenting fails.
• Dream pets: Rank dog breeds, highlight why lizards reign supreme, or go ahead and list the magical pets you'd love to have (hello, unicorns!).
• How-to hacks: Share your skills! Take your friends step by step through concocting your signature cocktail , getting killer deals on travel, or crafting cool nail art .
• The perfect undercover names: Give every party member a secret agent moniker and highlight their spy-worthy skills, whether it's their next-level driving or their ability to keep a (top) secret.
• When a favorite show jumped the shark: Narrow it down to the key moment that the show in question started its decline in quality—and make your case for it.
• Crystal ball prognostication: Imagine where you and your friends will be in five, 10, or 20 years from now. (The funnier your predictions, the better!)
• Worst gift ever: Chronicle the weirdest gifts you (or people you know) received—and why they're bad. Don't forget to include photos!
• Dream wedding: Even if you're already paired off, pop in what you'd want to do to celebrate your wedding now if money was no object.
• Bucket lists: A PowerPoint party is the perfect opportunity to see which wish list items you share with your friends—and start making plans to cross them off together.
• Guilty pleasures: Share your favorite guilty pleasure(s), and lay out the argument why others should indulge as well.
• Me in the multiverse: Take a cue from Everything Everywhere All at Once and imagine what your alter egos are doing in alternate realities.
• Junk drawer archaeology: Dive into the depths of your junk drawer and share the weirdest/smartest/oldest finds.
• Confessions: It's time to come clean on sins from your past or present and plead your case for why it had to be done.
• Friends trivia: No, we're not talking about what the mail label says on Chandler Bing's TV Guide (though it's Chanandler Bong, if you need it for your next trivia night). Instead, quiz other guests to see how much they remember about each other.
• Word to the wise: Keep your friends from learning the hard way by sharing a life lesson you've learned.
• Phobias: Share your biggest (and ideally, weirdest) fears and why you're not a fan.
• Two truths and a lie: Turn the classic party game into a PowerPoint party presentation—and see who knows you best.
• DIY fails: Share the tales (and ideally, photos!) of projects you envisioned and how they went wrong.
• Fandom vs. fandom : Presenters can pick their favorite fandom to discuss and (playfully) pit against other fandoms. For example, someone can bring up the classic Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate.
• Awkward photos : We all have those not-so-photogenic moments in our lives. Whether it's an awkward family photo, an embarrassing school photo, or some other cringe-inducing memory, it's time to share with everyone.
• Lottery dream : Share what you would do if you were to hit the jackpot and win millions in the lottery. The more lavish and outrageous your expenses, the more fun for the party.
• Pet peeves : Whether it's the use of the Oxford comma or honking while driving, get your grievances out and tell everyone why your pet peeves should be banished.
• Celebrity crushes : Go ahead and ask everyone to talk about their ultimate celebrity crush—past and present. They can gush about why this person is their favorite, share some eye candy, and even say what they would do if they ever met their crush in person.

What is A PowerPoint Night?

A PowerPoint night is a social event or gathering where friends, family members or colleagues come together to collaboratively create and share PowerPoint presentations on a range of topics in a lively and entertaining fashion. Unlike the formal presentations you might prepare for a class, PowerPoint night themes tend to be less academic and factual, focusing instead on personal narratives, opinions, cherished memories, and shared experiences among friends, family, and loved ones. With the primary goal of fostering stronger connections and fostering interactions filled with laughter, the themes of these presentations are inherently more light-hearted and joyful.

Without further ado, let us dive straight into the PowerPoint night ideas. Find what you need depending on who you are with – friends, families, siblings, other half, colleagues, classmates, or new acquaintances .

Ideas for your next PowerPoint Night

The best, funniest, and most thought-provoking prompts for your next PowerPoint night

GTM Strategy & Operations Lead

Is there anything nerdier than getting together with your friends on a Friday night and sharing 10 minute presentations on various topics? Probably not 😆

But when people didn't have a lot of socialization options during COVID, PowerPoint Nights took off in popularity, and surprisingly, they haven't gone away.

If you want to host your own PowerPoint night and want to help your attendees come up with fun presentation topics, here are our favorite PowerPoint night ideas, grouped by theme, for your inspiration.

What is a PowerPoint Night?

PowerPoint Nights, also known as PowerPoint Parties, are a social media trend that gained popularity in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID pandemic lockdowns and calls for social distancing.

They started as groups of friends creating presentations and presenting them to each other over a video call, but now people also do them in person. Generally, a PowerPoint Night works best when you pick fun, thought-provoking, and conversation-starting topics that will get the participants to interact with one another's presentation.

PowerPoint Parties originally became popular because they were a great remote social activity, but they can also be a great in-person group activity, similar to PowerPoint Karaoke and Pecha Kucha .

Do you have to use PowerPoint?

While “PowerPoint Night” is the popular term used for this trend, any presentation tool will do. Beyond PowerPoint or Google Slides, you could also use a Word document with lots of pictures, or tools like Coda or Notion . Whatever is easiest for you to share your ideas!

Can I use AI to generate my presentation?

While PowerPoint Nights are fun because they allow people to share their passions and interests, making a nice slide deck can be annoying. If you want a head start on creating your next presentation, try a tool like Plus AI .

Plus AI is an add-on to Google Slides and PowerPoint that helps you create the first draft of any presentation. This can help significantly cut down the time you spend on your PowerPoint Night presentation by allowing you to focus on creating the perfect joke and finding the perfect meme - not worrying about formatting slides.

Best PowerPoint Night Ideas

Here are some popular themes for PowerPoint Night presentations.

• Friends as TV characters. Match friends or colleagues with characters from popular TV shows, e.g. The Office. This PowerPoint Night theme is good as a light and funny theme.
• "Starter Pack." Create a "starter pack" of with each of your friends' catchphrases, hobbies, and attributes that they would have on a reality TV show.
• Guess who. Everyone makes a presentation describing someone in the group, but without mentioning names. Then the game is to guess who it is about.
• The Met gala. Create a presentation on what each person would wear to the Met gala.
• Celebrity lookalikes. In this PowerPoint Night theme you all present everyone's lookalike along with a justification.
• Fast food chains. Similar to TV characters but this tends to force you to get a bit more creative.

Informative presentations

PowerPoint nights can be a fun way to actually learn about new topics. If your friends work in different fields, it could be really fun to learn about new industries, fields, and types of work. Here are more ideas for informative presentations :

Persuasive presentations

10 Fun “Presentation Night” Ideas

Presentation night is an evening where you get together with friends and give funny presentations using slideshows and it may be just what you need to keep the good times rolling. here’s how to craft a fun presentation night for your friends..

In this blog post, we’ll discuss:

What Is a Presentation Night?

How to host a presentation night.

• Entertaining Presentation Night Ideas

How to Make Your Presentation Night Slideshow

In a nutshell, it’s an evening where you get together with friends and give funny presentations using slideshows (like you would at work, but with a lot more laughter). Instead of talking about sales goals and marketing strategies, guests present their bold observations and hot takes about a topic.

Whether it’s sharing how you really feel about a celebrity or why you think you were a goat-herder in a past life, a presentation night is a surefire way to get creative and learn more about your friends.

Nobody knows who had the first presentation night, but the trend has taken off over the last few years, especially as people started spending more time inside.

In fact, on TikTok alone, there are over 200 million views of videos with the hashtag #PresentationNight, as well as tons of ideas for hosting your own.

So, are you ready to start working on your dek?

Explore these fun presentation night ideas and learn how to make your presentation night slideshow in minutes. 

Let’s get started. 

When you consider how new of a trend presentation night is, the unwritten rules and etiquette of how to host yours can be pretty confusing. Do you keep things low-key and try not to overthink it? Or, should you go all out and make a big deal of it?

How you plan yours is up to you. Still, you can follow these three steps to host your presentation night with finesse:

1. Invite Your Friends

Of course, you were already going to invite your friends, right? But, who and how many friends you invite influences how intimate your presentation night turns out.

If you welcome more guests—especially those that bring a plus-one—it might be harder for the personal humor, rhythm, and energy of your inner circle to come through.

However, hosting a large group is worth it when you choose a relatable theme (and if you want to get to know some new people). 

2. Choose Your Theme

There are two types of presentation night themes: a group theme or an individual theme. 

A group theme is when all your guests present on the same topic. By limiting the night to one subject, you allow everyone to engage with each other and operate within a similar scope of knowledge. And, in turn, this promotes social harmony for your night.

Meanwhile, an individual theme is like an UNO Wild Card—you can choose your own topic and go as subjective, specific, and weird as you’d like.

3. Setup Your Presentation Area

Whether or not you have equipment at home, putting your own spin on your presentation setup will make your night feel special.

Be sure you have your presentation ready to go. And, remember to let your guests know which presentation software you’ll be using for the evening. (After all, there’s nothing more awkward than when your slideshow won’t show up on the screen).

Entertaining Presentation Night Ideas 

What’s the secret sauce behind an unforgettable presentation night?

Simple: It starts with creative ideas. Before you wear your party host hat and mingle with your guests, discover these fun presentation night ideas and examples for any budget.

1. Rank the Songs on an Album 

Pick an album all your guests have listened to and know well, and have everyone present how they’d rank the best songs on it.

With a close group of friends, feel free to choose one they have strong opinions of. Or, go with a popular album if you host a lot of guests and don’t know their taste in music.

2. Your Friends as Movie and TV Characters

Call on your own ensemble cast of Friends and make a case for why they’re a real-life version of that movie or TV character. For everyone who believes they are a Monica or a Rachel, this one’s for you.

3. Trivia with Friends

Prefer to get personal? Make your friends the stars of your presentation night instead.

Remind your guests to include ten trivia questions about themselves in their slideshows. Then, sit back and watch how long it takes your guests to answer them correctly.

4. Trends You Followed 

The magic of presentation night is that it helps you get to know your friends even better. Did they wear low-rise jeans in the 2000s? Are they always the first to join new social media platforms? This theme dials up the nostalgia and will have you traveling back in time.

5. Which Era Best Suits Your Friends? 

Make no mistake, if there’s a character or a trivia question that speaks to you, there’s a decade for you and your friends. Share why you think it speaks to their style as much as their spirit.

6. What Would Your Friends Do in The Hunger Games ?

Beyond comparing your friends to a compelling era or figure, it’s also fun to imagine what they’d do in the The Hunger Games . Predict who would be fending off enemies, gathering berries, or falling asleep.

And, let the debates begin.

7. Why _____ Is Underrated

Remember what we said about hot takes? Spice things up at your presentation night with a provocative topic that will have your guests defending what they consider overrated.

8. Tour Your Dream House 

Welcome your guests to the good life and give them a virtual tour of your dream mansion, and then have them do the same. (It’s called manifesting—ever heard of it?).

Now that you know how fun presentation night ideas take shape, you’re ready to learn how make your presentation night slideshow.

1. Choose Your Theme and Topic

Choose your theme and topic for your presentation night slideshow. Then, consider how one fits with the other.

2. Pick Your Presentation Tool 

Pick which tool you’ll use to make your presentation night slideshow. If you’re using PowerPoint or Google Slides , double-check the pros and cons of each.

You can also customize your own presentation night slideshow template with Shutterstock Create.

3. Swap Images, Graphics, Text 

In Shutterstock Create, click Photos and Video > Add photo to add images. Choose from Shutterstock’s stock library , or import your own.

Click Graphics > Add text to add text.

4. Choose Colors 

Click Change color to change your text’s color. This will open up the color picker. Choose from preset color swatches or type the hex code.

5. Download and Export

Download your presentation night slideshow as a PNG, JPG, or MP4 file. Shutterstock Create subscribers can also download as a PDF file.

If you download as a PNG or JPG, your file will export as a .ZIP file.

If you download as an MP4, you can export as a single video file or individual files.

Despite its use of productivity tools we use in offices and classrooms, presentation night is a way to play with the structure of a game night and learn more about your friends.

So, get creative, have fun, and remember to double-check your work before presenting.

Last updated on September 16th, 2024

In this modern era of digitalization, you may have friends and colleagues from multiple locations and time zones with whom you want to foster good professional and personal relationships. However, it is tough to communicate and engage with someone who is sitting miles away from you. In order to compensate for this aspect, the concept of PowerPoint Nights gained quite a popularity in the past when the remote working culture was being introduced to the world at a fast pace. By using technology, professionals can now engage with one another to achieve their entertainment and business-related goals.

What is a PowerPoint Night? Why are they arranged? How can someone host a PowerPoint Night himself? Are there any fun and actionable PowerPoint Night Ideas that can be followed? All of these questions, along with some other major aspects related to PowerPoint Night, will be covered in this article. Now, you can continue the flow of the article and learn more about what a PowerPoint Night is, or jump to the big list of PowerPoint Night ideas .

What is a PowerPoint Night?

PowerPoint Nights are activities where a group of friends or professionals can create short presentations on various fun topics and present them either in person or through video call sessions. The purpose is to engage with fellow peers, colleagues, and friends by using digital means of communication.  

People will enjoy eatables (snacks, pizza, drinks, etc.) in these sessions and resulting in more memorable experiences.

Requirements for Hosting a PowerPoint Night

In order to make sure that you and your friends have a worth-remembering powerPoint Night experience, you should have a stable Internet connection, a digital device like Laptop or PC, and most importantly, Microsoft’s PowerPoint application software (although in recent times other presentation tools are being used, like Google Slides).

You don’t need to develop a presentation or slides from scratch by designing the beach and every aspect all by yourself. This can be a time-consuming task and may require considerable creativity and research. In order to make your presentation more appealing and eye-catching, it must have some compelling infographics, visuals, images, videos, graphs, etc. to attract the listeners and engage your audience with visual aids. 

For this purpose, you can leverage the premade professionally made PowerPoint Templates from our website with free slides templates . On this website, for every possible topic that you may choose for your PowerPoint Night template, you will have multiple options to choose from and download totally free of cost. After downloading any of the desired premade presentation templates with awesome slide backgrounds for presentations and for hosting your PowerPoint Night event, you can edit a few details as per your requirements in your PowerPoint application and you are good to go. Now, you can focus more on the aspects like presentation delivery and event hosting. Alternatively, you can also use AI tools to create your presentations with artificial intelligence.

How to Host a PowerPoint Night?

In order to host a PowerPoint Night event, you can follow the following steps to proceed ahead.

1. Planning the Event and Inviting the Guests

First of all, you must create a list of the possible attendees of your event to whom you will send the invitations. You must think about all the requirements of your PowerPoint Night party before inviting your guests. Sometimes, these types of events are not used for all kinds of situations and audiences. 

For example, try inviting young adults and people familiar with the concept of PowerPoint Night and using technological equipment and tools. If a child whose age is more than 10 years also wants to be a part of the PowerPoint Night, make sure to attach him with some adult individual with some experience with such presentation activities. 

2. Communicating Guidelines

The second most important step is to communicate the guidelines of the PowerPoint Night event. You must make sure that your audience is aware of the answers to the following questions.

• What is the maximum time allowed for a PowerPoint Night presentation?
• Is there any limit to the number of slides in a presentation? (you can estimate the number of slides for a 45-minute presentation )
• Is there any required attire? What is the dress code?
• Will the theme of each presentation in the event be the same?
• What is the main idea or concept behind the activity?

You can always ask your participants to give their suggestions regarding the theme of the event. In this way, you can implement the most innovative and audience-centric concept in your PowerPoint Night.

3. Handling the Presentations

Being a host, you can either collect the presentations of all the participants beforehand or allow them to present their slides without providing you with any initial copy of their PowerPoint slides. If everyone is attending the event in person, it is better for the host to collect all the presentations before the event so that he can organize the presentation delivery mechanism of the participants and manage the entire activity more efficiently. You can also collect PowerPoint handouts , although this is not mandatory.

Make sure that your presentation includes all important aspects of a compelling PowerPoint Slide presentation which are proper slide arrangement, appealing color scheme, and visual slides necessary for grabbing the attention of the listeners and engage their audience. You can also use notecards to support your arguments and make yourself less dependent on the screen while you hold your position over the stand.

7 Most Fun and Actionable PowerPoint Night Ideas 

There can be a number of topics and ideas that you can use in your PowerPoint night. However, here are some of the most actionable PowerPoint Night ideas you can steal and use for your next event. Let’s see some of the funniest powerpoint Night Ideas that you can implement in your next event:

1. Virtual Games

Whether you are hosting a PowerPoint Night event in person or virtually through softwares Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, it is always a good idea to engage participants and have some fun through virtual games. These games can be related to anything. For example, games like finding the difference, Lower or Higher, Picking personal favorites, etc can be used in such activities. The simpler the game is, the more engaging it will be for the attendees as everyone will be able to understand the game’s rules and enjoy it to the fullest. If you want to generate some presentations for virtual games, you can get a list of PowerPoint party ideas in our other article.

2. Quizzes that Revolve Around Specific Themes

One of the most fun PowerPoint Night ideas to use in a Powerpoint Night event or parties is using themed quizzes. Just like conventional reality TV shows, the PowerPoint Night parties can also include some fun sessions where quizzes related to specific topics and ideas can be held and participants are asked to answer specific questions. For example, you may choose a theme like Vacation, Hiking, Halloween, Graduation, etc, and then make a list of fun quizzes to ask to attendees.  Learn how to create a quiz in PowerPoint here .

3. Educating One Another

Professionals may find it hard to learn about new topics and domains of work while working in their hectic time schedule. PowerPoint Night events can provide participants with a way to educate each other in a fun way, like in peer education. For example, each participant can choose an interesting and unusual topic of his choice and prepare engaging slides related to it. He can then present this topic to others while making jokes, sharing some relatable personal stories, and some professional memories to resonate with the listeners’ minds. Educating one another is one of the funniest PowerPoint night ideas you can implement.

4. Relive Old Presentation Memories

Many professionals must have presented in front of their classmates in school or college. What if you can relive those moments by presenting exactly the same topics you used to present back then? Is it not exciting?  For example, a person who did a joint presentation with his best friend in the 3rd grade on the topic of “Qualities of my best friend” can present on the same topic again by presenting the same content that he delivered back then. This will be a fun way of reliving past memories and laughing with your friends at any presentation event. 

5. Friends Who Look Like Celebrities

This is another fun way of engaging with your participants and enjoying the activity with your peers. You can prepare slides by taking pictures of each one of the participants and then matching them with the most suitable celebrities. The result can be shown to the participants, in the end, to further enjoy the similarities and differences. Make sure that celebrities with whom you compare your attendees are not controversial. You need to keep in mind the emotions and feelings of others as well while doing such an activity so that each attendee can participate freely in the event and have fun.

6. Office Gadgets You Can’t Live Without

You can prepare slides regarding office gadgets, tools, and equipment, without which your professional lives will not be the same. You can take pictures of such gadgets and mention them in your slides by explaining their perks and benefits. You can also ask participants to share their fun experiences with these gadgets and how they help them daily in their routine tasks. This activity will also be helpful in explaining many uses of those gadgets and tools about which the participants were previously unaware. Hence, this activity may help in improving workplace productivity as well.

7. Choosing a SuperPower: Why and How to Use it?

You can provide this theme to your participants and ask them to choose a superpower and explain why they have chosen it and how it will help them achieve something in a fun yet productive manner. 

Each participant can prepare his slides explaining the pros and cons of their superpowers. They can compare their superpowers with existing scenarios and events to make their presentation more fun and relatable. Everyone will know about the thinking mindset and fantasies of each other in this way, and the participants will bond with each other unconsciously in an efficient manner. Such kinds of activities can prove to be vital and useful for workplaces where there is a need for effective communication and collaboration among team members.
