How to Plan the Ultimate Company Field Day: Step-by-Step Guide

If you’re searching for fresh company field day ideas that get your team laughing, moving, and bonding, you’re not alone. Many companies are looking for ways to replace traditional outings like bowling or Top Golf with something more interactive and memorable.

That’s where a corporate field day comes in — a perfect mix of outdoor competition, teamwork, and nostalgia. Whether you’re planning it yourself or partnering with professionals like Forever Field Day, here’s your step-by-step guide to pulling off an unforgettable event.

🥇 Step 1: Define Your Goal

Before you start planning, ask: What’s the purpose of your field day?

  • Do you want to improve communication and teamwork?

  • Reward employees with a day of fun and stress relief?

  • Or celebrate a company milestone or holiday?

Your goal determines the structure, duration, and type of activities you’ll include. If you’re unsure where to start, our Corporate Field Day Packages are designed around teamwork, competition, and laughter — no extra planning stress required.

🎯 Step 2: Choose the Right Location

A great outdoor team building event needs the right space. Parks, athletic fields, and open green spaces are ideal. Look for:

  • Flat, open areas for games and relays

  • Access to restrooms and parking

  • Shade or shelter options for breaks

If you’d rather skip the logistics, Forever Field Day handles location scouting and setup for you. We bring the equipment, referees, and structure — so all you have to do is show up and play.

🧢 Step 3: Pick a Theme

A theme makes your event stand out and adds excitement. Popular options include:

  • Retro Recess – 90s-style games and prizes

  • Company Olympics – teams compete for medals and bragging rights

  • Battle of the Departments – sales vs. marketing vs. operations

You can even customize team colors, T-shirts, or flags. Check out our Games & Activities page for inspiration.

🏃 Step 4: Plan the Games and Schedule

Variety is key! A great corporate field day mixes physical challenges, teamwork games, and lighthearted competitions so everyone can participate.

Sample Schedule:

  • 9:00 AM – Welcome, warm-up, and team assignments

  • 9:30 AM – Capture the Flag

  • 10:15 AM – Relay Races

  • 11:00 AM – Tug-of-War

  • 11:45 AM – Sack Race & Water Balloon Toss

  • 12:15 PM – Lunch and Awards Ceremony

Forever Field Day offers structured packages that include all of this and more. See what’s included on our Book Your Event page.

🧃 Step 5: Don’t Forget the Essentials

Even the best event can fall flat without proper planning for comfort and safety. Make sure to include:

  • Water stations or coolers

  • Sunscreen and first aid kits

  • Music or speakers for energy

  • Optional shade tents or seating

Our team covers all these details for you so you can relax and enjoy the day.
