Get Together, Share a Laugh and Make Memories

It’s summer; let’s all act like kids! From water fights to family reunions, summer is about having fun and letting go of work and school stressors. There are countless activities to do with your family, friends and neighbors. Relationships are important, so build them in your family, neighborhood and at work, all while getting together to share a laugh.

Using badge holders and badge ribbons at family and neighborhood events.

Spending time with others offers many benefits, including building personal confidence and strengthening bonds. Likewise, family time offers many benefits. These include building trust and creating a stronger emotional bond between family members. You can also improve your communication skills while bettering your performance in school and at work. Summer is about making memories while spending time with those who matter to you.

Badge Holders with Badge Ribbons and How to Share a Laugh

Getting together with family is the best part of summer. This year, use badge holders and ribbons to define your family tree. It never fails, someone at your reunion will show up, and you won’t know how they relate to the family. So, use ribbons and badges to help everyone fit in.

Print each insert with an attendee’s name and attach a badge ribbon with their family surname. You can even color coordinate each family. These ribbons will help everyone know who fits in and where. Now Great Aunt Tabitha won’t have to wonder where you fit into her family tree. All she has to do is check out your ribbon and badge to see.

Blank Badge Ribbons and Getting Together

Make a memory this summer by helping everyone feel welcome with handwritten names on badge ribbons. Then you can use these badge ribbons to designate seating arrangements and more. Or give them to people to wear for a fun version of identification. Finally, everyone can pin one on and get to know each other better.

Blank badge ribbons are also great for game use. These ribbons are versatile, from writing names on them to using them as game pieces and even as designations for titles. Use the different colors for different games or organizations during the festivities. Design your game using badge ribbons and either focus on the colors or write on them with a permanent marker.

Reusable Badge Holders are Perfect for Making Memories

Share a laugh while having a treasure hunt with friends and family, and use badge holders to help with keeping organized. Laughing together helps create fun memories and strengthens bonds within families and neighborhoods.

When your neighborhood plans a get-together, make sure that everyone can participate. When you use identification (like badge holders), you can ensure that everyone will know who is there. Remember to have fun with these printable badges. Add fun things like a treasure map or creative names and titles for game participants.

Countless activities compete for time on the calendar, such as work, school, homework, after-school activities, friends, and more. So, as the summer comes to a close, remember to get together to share a laugh and make some memories with your family and neighbors.

Teaching Tools and Personalizing Your Classroom

Learning is more effective and stimulating when you are using teaching tools that are already in front of you. It is up to teachers and other school staff to ensure every student has the tools they need to learn. When students know what tools they have available and how each works, they are more apt to pay attention and, in the long run, learn what they need to succeed.

Why are customizable products great for teaching tools?

By customizing our products to meet your school and classroom needs, you can help improve your instruction time.

Encouraging Summer Fun at Work

Without your employees, where would your company be? Yes, your company is your idea and livelihood. But without your employees, you wouldn’t be able to do what you do. Your team is one of your greatest assets; without them, your company wouldn’t be where it is today.

Keeping employees happy and feeling fulfilled on the job can be hard to manage. And motivation isn’t always easy. But, team happiness spurs productivity. So, ensure you are helping your team in every way possible to feel grateful for their employment. Making summer fun is one way to aid this.

Making Summer Fun for Employees | Influencing Identity by Coller Industries Incorporated

Why is making work fun important?
Fun in the workplace can have a positive impact on employees and their productivity. As a manager, you can create a professional environment that your staff members appreciate. As an employee, you can enjoy working at your organization, and you may feel that your supervisors prioritize your mental health. Making work fun has benefits such as:
Boosting Morale: Employees that have fun in the workplace may be in happier moods, which makes the organizational setting more pleasant.
Avoiding Workplace Burnout: With fun activities, employees can relax from their work responsibilities and prevent overexertion.
Increasing Creativity: Employees can practice their hobbies and expand their interests during workplace fun, which may inspire them to apply creativity to their occupational tasks.
Fostering Closer Relationships with Colleagues: Fun work functions can enable employees to get to know one another personally, which can also improve office morale.
Promoting Collaboration: Employees who enjoy fun activities together may also work well together professionally.

Company Retreats

Your team works hard, so use your company retreat as your chance to kick back and relax. A corporate retreat is a chance for employers to affirm the company’s values and speak more candidly about long-term goals. Take your time now to plan all of the activities. This way, you ensure that every guest has an incredible experience from start to finish.

So, what are corporate retreats? Corporate retreats are company events away from the office that focus on specific goals. Retreats are often weekend trips; however, they may also be single-day events. Plan your retreat to provide a break from work routines and a scheduled time to focus on specific objectives. An effective corporate retreat can lead to a boost in production in the future.

Increased morale
Corporate retreats are opportunities for staff members to pause their normal work routines and have fun together. This can help improve morale within your company. Raising morale is often a goal within companies, as employees typically can produce stronger results when they’re feeling happy and satisfied at work. By scheduling corporate retreats throughout the year to keep morale high, you have the potential to raise production throughout the year as well.

Advancing Together with Identification

Summer fun at a corporate retreat is an excellent way for staff members and management to relax. And your aim should be to facilitate bonding and business planning in a relaxed environment. To do this, ensure that your team, one, feels comfortable around each other, and two, knows one another. Enter name tags and identification!

ADHESIVE NAME BADGES

Don’t forget the name tags! From games to identification for the day, these Adhesive Name Badges will cover all your needs. Name badges are essential to your event’s success as they provide everyone with identification. Whether you are hosting a celebration for a small group of employees or a larger event for colleagues and clients, Adhesive Name Badges are the perfect tool to ensure everyone knows who is in attendance.

SMALL AWARD PLAQUES

Small custom award plaque to be given in recognition of helping at a summer fun event.

Motivating employees to stay on track while at work can often be problematic. So, use these custom plaques to go beyond highlighting someone’s achievement and help them see just how useful they are to your company. And they are perfect for all your summer fun activities.

When employees need a little motivation, a little bit of recognition goes a long way. Congratulate them on a job well done with a unique and meaningful plaque. Giving them that recognition while throwing a fun get-together is also a great way to make them feel appreciated.

RIBBON ROLLS

Personalized ribbons are essential at every event. You’ve used them for decorations, and they are always great when branded for networking. This time, use them to encourage teamwork and have some summer fun at your event. Fashion them into awareness ribbons to celebrate a cause or simply to identify different teams. Choose colors and text that match your needs.

“Retreats have often been perceived as junkets that just let people blow off steam and have fun,” says Edward Sullivan, CEO of the executive coaching company Velocity Group. “But in the age of hybrid work, retreats have gone from ‘nice to have’ to ‘must have.’ They’re critical to the culture-building at a company because it’s the time when we come together and create that connective issue as a team.”
