The photo moment at the exit

[Customize!] Act out a legendary moment

Use a small group to act out a well-known moment from the leaver's career in a single photo. (Organizers: describe here which moment should be acted out, for example a successful project, a famous blunder or a legendary company outing.)

[Customize!] The career question

A question about the leaver's career. (Organizers: come up with a question and add the answer, for example "What year did they start?" or "How many departments has the leaver worked in?".)

Advice for those who stay

The leaver writes one piece of wise advice on a card for the team staying behind. Take a photo of it.

Group hug for the leaver

Gather as many colleagues as possible into a big group hug around the leaver. Take a photo from above if you can, otherwise from the side.

Impression of the leaver

Someone imitates a typical saying or habit of the leaver: a catchphrase, a walk, a gesture everyone recognizes. Record a short video of it.

Passing the baton

The leaver symbolically hands an object to a colleague taking over the work: a pen, a key, a coffee mug. Take a photo of the handover.

The best work memory

Someone tells the best memory with the leaver in about twenty seconds. Record a video of it.

The career timeline

Using notes or objects, lay out a mini timeline of the most important moments from the leaver's career, in the right order. Take a photo of the complete timeline.

The farewell board

Have as many colleagues as possible write a short message and their name on one big farewell board or sheet. Take a photo of the filled-up board.

The farewell gift

Take a photo of the leaver at the moment the farewell gift is handed over, with a genuine reaction. The moment itself, not posed in advance.

The farewell group photo

Final challenge: one big group photo with the whole team and the leaver in the middle. Find a high spot or climb up somewhere for the overview.

The guard of honour

The whole team forms two rows for the leaver to walk through, with applause and cheering. Record a video of the walk through the guard of honour.

The joke petition

The team writes a funny fake petition titled "You are not allowed to leave" and has everyone sign it. Take a photo of the petition full of signatures.

The last high-five round

The leaver gives everyone in a line one last high-five. Record a video of the whole row of high-fives in one go.

The reserved desk

Take a photo of the leaver's (soon to be empty) desk with a homemade sign next to it: "Reserved for a legend". Keep it light.

Toast to the new adventure

Someone says out loud what they wish the leaver for the future, and then the team toasts. Record a short video of the toast.
