Corporate events in Singapore β family days, team days, annual dinners, and D&D β need entertainment that works for a mixed crowd of adults, children, and senior staff. Here are 15 activities that consistently deliver at corporate events, ranked by versatility and crowd appeal.
What Makes Corporate Event Entertainment Different
- Must appeal to mixed ages: children of employees, adults, and seniors all present
- Needs to be scalable: corporate events often have 50β300+ attendees
- Should require minimal supervision: HR teams are busy β activities that run themselves are preferred
- Professional presentation: artists should be well-groomed, punctual, and represent the company's brand well
- Insurance and safety documentation often required for venue compliance
15 Best Corporate Event Activities in Singapore
1. Airbrush Tattoos
Airbrush tattoos are the #1 corporate event activity for a reason: they work for all ages, queue fast (15β20 per hour), require no contact with the face, and guests wear their tattoo home as a conversation piece. From $120/hr.
2. Balloon Sculpting
A balloon artist creates characters, hats, and animals live β the performance draws a crowd of adults and children alike. Particularly effective as a roving artist who moves through the event. From $120/hr.
3. Candy Floss Station
A candy floss machine is one of the most visually engaging food stations available. It requires minimal supervision and provides a constant stream of guests to photograph. From $200 for 2 hours.
4. Popcorn Station
A popcorn machine adds a carnival feel and gives guests something to snack on throughout the event. Easy to staff, safe for all ages, and universally popular.
5. Henna
Traditional henna is culturally inclusive and particularly popular at D&D and multicultural company events. Designs take 10β20 minutes but guests wait willingly. From $120/hr.
6. Face Painting
Face painting is primarily for children at corporate family days. Simple, fast designs (butterflies, tigers, superheroes) keep kids happy and out of adults' way so parents can network.
7. Bouncy Castle
A bouncy castle is essential for corporate family days where employees bring children. It keeps kids occupied for extended periods with minimal supervision, freeing up parents to enjoy the event.
8. Ball Pit
A ball pit works best for corporate events with employees who have young children (1β5 years). A designated toddler zone with a ball pit keeps the youngest guests safely occupied.
9. Games Hosting
A games host runs structured group activities β team challenges, quiz rounds, relay races β that encourage employee interaction across departments. Excellent for annual family days. From $150 for 30 minutes.
10. Glitter Tattoos
Glitter tattoos are a quick, visually impressive activity that works for tween-age children and young adults. Applies in 2β3 minutes, lasts up to a week. Popular at festive-themed corporate events.
11. Sand Art
Sand art is a quieter craft station where guests create their own coloured sand bottle artwork to take home. Popular at family-friendly corporate events as a memorable keepsake activity.
12. Caricature Artist
A caricature artist creates humorous portraits in 5β10 minutes per person. Guests love taking home personalised artwork β a uniquely corporate-friendly activity that generates laughter.
13. Fabric Arch Backdrop
A branded or themed backdrop with a balloon garland creates a professional photo point that employees use throughout the event. Company name or theme can be incorporated via custom sticker.
14. Bubble Show
A bubble performer creates giant bubbles, bubble sculptures, and encases children in full-body bubbles β a group spectacle that draws the entire event to watch. Ideal as a scheduled 15-minute performance.
15. Photo Booth
A staffed photo booth with props, instant prints, and digital sharing is a modern corporate event staple. Guests queue willingly, and the photos provide natural social media content for the company. From $488 with unlimited prints.
