July is National Ice Cream month.

Join the celebration by sharing some ice cream in the workplace. It is an easy and fun way to spread some cheer and smiles without breaking the bank.

Here are 5 ideas to celebrate National Ice Cream Month at work:

1. Hire an ice-cream cart

It is hard to miss the traditional ice cream carts with their striking red umbrellas manned by middle aged uncles. Get the ice cream cart to swing by your workplace. Count heads and negotiate a price for your employees to come out and make a selection for their favorite flavors!

 2. Have a friendly competition

Get your employees to split into teams and challenge them to concoct an original flavor and churn their homemade ice cream recipe. Get an unbiased panel of judges to sample the new ice cream flavors and decide on the winners. Award prizes such as vouchers or gift cards to ice cream parlors.

 3. Schedule an ice cream social

Take a refreshing break from work by hosting an ice cream social. Choose a green space near the office or a large meeting room to accommodate all employees. Have supervisors and bosses don aprons to serve ice cream to their employees. Employees can then add toppings of their choice. It is also a sweet way for bosses to show appreciation to their employees.

 4. Host an ice cream trivia contest

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! Put everyone’s love of ice cream to the test by creating an ice cream trivia quiz. Don’t forget the prize: Winner gets a Cold Stone creamery or Ben & Jerry’s gift card, so they can celebrate their love for ice cream in style!

 5. Create ice cream crafts

Every great party starts with awesome decorations. Declare an ice cream themed party and rope in all employees to contribute in the decorations. Allow them to be creative in using ice cream related materials such as ice cream cones, popsicle sticks, etc. to create unique crafts and pieces. Reward the most creative decorations with ice cream prizes!
