Set up different stations around your event space. Each station will focus on a different health topic, like checking blood pressure, measuring BMI, learning about healthy foods, or doing a simple exercise.
2. Clue Cards
Give each employee a clue card at the entrance. This card has riddles or hints that lead them to the first station. At each station, a new clue will direct them to the next spot. Click here to view some sample clue cards.
