“Everyone find someone you don't normally work with and share three interesting facts about yourself.”
No.
Please don't.
Your employees came to the company picnic for free food and an afternoon away from their desks. Don't turn it into a mandatory networking seminar.
There is an easier way to get people talking.
Put games between them.
Cornhole Does the Icebreaking for You
Something happens when you put two cornhole boards 27 feet apart, measured between the front edges.
People start talking.
Someone asks who's next.
Someone claims they haven't played in years and then throws three bags in the hole.
Accounting challenges Sales.
Sales takes it far too seriously.
The owner walks over and suddenly has a teammate from the warehouse they've barely spoken to before.
Nobody had to be assigned a partner.
That's what makes games useful at company events.
Interaction happens without announcing that interaction is supposed to happen.
Run a Department Tournament
If your company enjoys competition, turn the rental into a tournament.
Try:
Marketing vs. Sales
Operations vs. Management
Office vs. Field
Day Shift vs. Night Shift
You can make the bracket serious or ridiculous.
Give the winners a gift card, trophy or bragging rights for the next 12 months.
For bigger events, multiple sets allow several matches to happen at once.
Don't Want a Tournament? Even Better.
You don't need one.
For many corporate events, simply having an area with cornhole and other backyard games is enough.
Employees can wander in and out throughout the event.
Add Giant Jenga, Giant Connect Four or other games and you've created an entertainment area without hiring an entertainer.
Custom Logo Cornhole Boards Change the Look
This is where corporate events can get interesting.
Add your company logo to the boards and suddenly a premium lawn game becomes part of the event branding.
They look great in photos.
They work at employee appreciation events.
They're useful at trade shows, customer events, grand openings and recruiting events.
And unlike a banner hanging behind a registration table, people actually interact with them.
Delivery Matters More Than You Think
Someone at the company always gets volunteered to handle the games.
That usually means:
Find boards.
Borrow a truck.
Load them.
Unload them.
Set them up.
Keep track of all the bags.
Load everything again after the event.
Or you can rent them.
CornholeRentals™ delivers the games, sets them up and picks them up when the event is over.
Your HR manager has better things to do.
Probably.
The Goal Isn't “Team Building”
Forget the phrase.
The goal is to create an event where employees actually enjoy spending time together.
Good food helps.
A day away from work helps.
And a few cornhole boards can do more for casual conversation than any laminated team-building worksheet ever will.
Check your event location on CornholeRentals™ to see delivery availability and build your rental.

Delivery, setup and pickup are included for eligible event locations. Your minimum order depends on the drive time from our Dayton-area warehouse—not a separate delivery charge. Start with your ZIP, then enter the exact event address to confirm the minimum and available options.
