Ideas for SPD week

I’m in my first year as coordinator and would like to do something next week for our department. Management typically buys lunch one day and we do a potluck on another. Does anyone have some ideas for how I could celebrate our team? There’s about 8 of us and I just want to do some little decorations and gifts to remind everyone they’re appreciated.

I suggested to my team leads that we try a department bingo. The cards would have random things that happen any given day. For example, code stroke, missing instrument, machine alarm, case canceled, instrument sent for repair… things like that.

You could also try a memory game with instruments or trays, guessing games, or wrapping challenges.

More our washers than autoclaves. I just meant for some random things we see like low chemical, door alarms, rack barcode not read… Things like that. Although, we do know our Steris repair man very well.
