At least once a year, it’s completely appropriate to break out the sombreros and maracas. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo at the office should become an annual tradition, even if it’s only for one reason: Tacos! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling festive? We are! Here’s how to get your co-workers into the Cinco de Mayo spirit!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a South-of-the-Border Vibe<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you play cultural music over the office intercom as employees arrive for the day, or schedule a surprise visit from a roaming Mariachi band – you’re sure to kick off the celebration with class! Encourage employees to get up from their desks and dance to the beats!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host a Sombrero Contest<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves a little competition, so ask your staff to sport their favorite sombreros (or, any hat will do) for the day. Have everyone cast their vote for their favorite Mexican-theme head wear and present the winner with a <\/span>special certificate or award<\/span><\/a> just before starting the lunch festivities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Taco Buffet<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s no better way to kick off a noon staff meeting than with a taco buffet lunch. Load up on the queso and guacamole, then discuss those sales numbers. Everyone will be feeling a little spicy and ready to share their ideas with the rest of the bunch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Try Salsa Dancing<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a small team, take an afternoon break and learn new dance moves at a local studio. Or, hire a dance pro to come to the office and give a Salsa demo and quick lesson. The impromptu exercise will fire up the team for a productive end to their work day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule an Afternoon Drink<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Break out of that 3pm slump and make a toast to Cinco de Mayo with some fruity virgin margaritas or a bottle of Mexican beer. Pair the drinks with a homemade salsa and chips to keep the snackers in the bunch happy!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready to let the crew know about the plans for Cinco de Mayo at the office? <\/span>Stock up on festive paper<\/span><\/a> to post the taco lunch menu and day’s festivities so everyone can get ready to say ol\u00e9!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
