Corporate "fun" and team fun are two very different things. Just let each team do what they want to do and if you have good coworkers, the fun will happen organically. Last thursday my team decided to go to a bar. About 15 of the engineers went, and it was a decent time. Was it as fun as my college days with my dorm friends? Of course not. Was it better than the company picnic? Hell yes. A few of the "fun" things that I've done with companies that actually worked: I worked in an office that was a converted residential house, we had a BBQ every friday in the summer. Simple, cheap, but honestly taking an hour and enjoying the summer weather on the back porch in the middle of your work day goes a long way for moral. Pranks. This can go too far, but in moderation really is funny. Going out to a bar if you actually like the people you work with. Skydiving, not everyone did it but you want to talk about a "team building" exercise, have everyone jump out of a plane together. Almost all of those that worked were organically started by the guys in our team. My current company has no "fun" policy as I see it, but my coworkers are fun, and that makes all the difference.
