Our Fun Inspired Menu
Fun Escape Breaks
(Get some comic relief and take a mental vacation)
Fun Escapes are humorous interactive games, contests and activities that liven up meetings, conferences, training and special events. They are a fun way to break the ice and reenergize the body and brain. After all, school without recess would have been unbearable, so why should adults be deprived of a much needed sanity break in the middle of their day.
Humor Workshops
(Remember, if you can't laugh at yourself, you leave the job to others)
Learn creative, inspirational, and practical techniques for using humor to tackle a variety of personal and professional challenges. Create a fun inspired workplace with happier, healthier, more productive people. You’ll have fun learning how to have more fun!
Laughter/Learning Combo
(Go ahead, Supersize the fun)
Laughter isn’t just the best medicine, it’s the best teacher! When people are laughing, they are motivated and learning! Want people to learn a new product, service or skills, or reinforce key goals? Whether you have ongoing training needs, an annual summit or special conference, we’ll create customized, hands-on, hilarious games to get your message across in a fun, memorable way.
Special Events
(No one likes a boring event. Well, maybe boring people do)
Fundraisers, reward and recognition programs, product launches, promotional events, customer appreciation campaigns, teambuilding days. While fun is it’s own reward, it also opens hearts, minds, and wallets!
School Programs
(Share "what's so funny" with the rest of the class!)
Laughter in the classroom used to be a no-no. I remember the angst of not being able to share what’s so funny with the rest of the class. Now, while it’s probably good I was censored at times, expressing my creative side was my ticket to a successful academic and professional career as it is for so many people; even if they’re not in a creative field, everyone has a creative side….everyone. Everyone also needs to laugh! Depression in children is sadly growing fast, as it is in adults. Naturally, the humor in classroooms must be approriate, and today, savvy teachers and schools realize that our brains respond to humor. It’s a major source of stimulation, motivation and cooperation. WHEN CHILDREN ARE LAUGHING…. THEY’RE LEARNING! They’re learning social and academic skills because the brain connects the information to experiences. Positive, fun, creative experiences are a giant “yes-yes”! Creating a laughing classroom is a goal we’ll help you achieve by teaching you techniques to capture your students’ attention, help them retain information, reduce disciplinary problems and build a sense of camaraderie in the classroom. We are not talking about becoming a stand up comedian, clown, or court jester…
Customer Service R.I.P.
(Bring great service back to life! Train your employees to smile like they mean it.)
Employees who have lost that lovin’ feeling, or who never had it to begin with, jeopardize a company’s reputation and financial well-being. Four out of five researcher tell us that 96% of customers never complain about rude service, but 91% choose not to do business again where they have been mistreated. Competition is fierece, we’ll make sure you’re employees aren’t. Topics can include: Positive Attitude: Proactive Problem Solving; Professional Appearance; Exceeding Customer Expectations; Making Empowered Decisions; Telephone Etiquette; Body Language; Tone of Voice; Eye Contact; The Lost Art of Listening; Creating Loyal Customers. ( Disclaimer: The 5th researcher was very rude and therefore disqualified.)
People Peeves

How We Help
We have a full schedule, who has the time?
Humor breaks can be given in 15-30 minute increments for a 1/2 day or weeklong conference. Plan your schedule with us and we will customize the fun, and recommend how to get the most out of your event.
We have goals to reach and content to cover, isn't fun counterproductive?
People learn better and retain more when they are having fun. Because humor reduces stress, holds attention and fosters teamwork and creative thinking, it maximizes both efficacy and efficiency!
We're on a budget, how much does a good time cost?
Humor breaks come in a variety of price friendly “humor stimulus packages”. The bottom line is-if you are not having fun…you’re losing money! Stress is costly but FUN is a renewable resource!
Did you know a Humor Break is as necessary as a restroom break?
It’s true! Can you measure the impact of a restroom break on morale? Humor is equally necessary, it flushes the mental toxins!
