Team building days are events that are usually planned by employers. These types of days usually involve different types of cooperative activities and social designed to unify groups of employees.

Theme parties are one type of event that is usually planned towards the end of a team building day. These types of activities usually involve bringing out more of the fun and creative side of most people.Different types of themed party days that have been planned include Wild West, James Bond, and Tropical Island themed parties. A variety of activities are planned at one of social events. A Wild West party could include one or more of the following events: dressing up as a cowboy/cowgirl, participating in a Wild West shootout (a duel), and riding a simulated bull. Other activities may include participating in a saloon poker game (and perhaps even real or fake cigars will be provided for extra effect).

Of course a party with a Wild West theme will be set in a location that is very indicative of the old west (i.e. the swinging saloon doors, American flags, and cacti plants). Furthermore, usually old west music will be played, and entertainment such as gun slinging, lasso rope throwing, and knife throwing. At a James Bond themed party all the guests will be a different James Bond character. Professional or experienced amateur James Bond leading actors will guide the evening of mystery solving. One of the most important James Bond missions is to overpower Dr. Evil, and the other would be to help free hostages.

Other miscellaneous activities that may take place at a James Bond party include casino gaming, dancing, and watching movies (James Bond series and movies). Sometimes a bar is served with the appropriate cocktails and drinks as well.The Tropical Island themed party would include dressing up in beach clothing, sipping on pre-dinner cocktails, and listening to a live music. Two of the most commonly planned island theme parties include those that represent either the Caribbean or Hawaii-or a combination of both areas.Events and activities that may be included in a Hawaiian or Caribbean themed party could include belly dancing (and regular types of dancing), "tanning" on the beach, and lei making. For those who want to learn what a "lei" is the next paragraph would explain.

A lei is basically a flower necklace that is usually made from loose orchids or similar-shaped flowers. These flowers can be fake or real. Sometimes leis are made for the waste wrist or bracelet as well. These crafts can be accented with a variety of other items as well, such as dried bamboo pieces, miniature pineapple and/or coconut ornaments. Grass skirts may also be a craft that is made at an island party.The backdrop of the indoor location of a Caribbean Tropical Island party would represent the beach scenery of islands such as the Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba, or otherwise. On the contrary, a Hawaiian party may include decoration themes of one or more of Hawaii's favorite island volcanic beach spots or beaches.Usually the purpose of a themed party is to help open the minds of groups of employees. More importantly, these parties provide a way for new groups of employees to get better acquainted.
