My personal take on this is I don't like it when fun team building and important work meetings are mixed together. Usually this takes the form of the first 5-10 minutes of a meeting being used by the same couple people sharing mundane details from their personal life and then the meeting going over the allotted time because it started 10 minutes late. This is just bad meeting etiquette. Create separate times for this type of "fun" chat and make it completely optional to attend.
