A season plan that fits real calendars
Six weeks is usually enough to build a habit without wearing people out. Below is a week-by-week sketch you can adapt for shifts, students on staff, or hybrid teams.
Ask us to adapt this calendarThree simple phases
Start clear, cruise in the middle, end with an honest chat
Weeks 1–2: explain the map, how data is handled, and how to opt out. Weeks 3–4: repeat the same kinds of prompts so nobody has to decode something new every day. Weeks 5–6: fewer fresh tasks, more stories and a light retro.
Change the host every fortnight so skills spread. Give each host a buddy who books rooms, watches the weather, and tweaks things for access needs. Keep a shared note for handovers so the whole thing does not live in one person’s head.
Only track what you will actually show on a scoreboard. If you swap tools mid-season, say so in writing and let folks download their history if they want it.
Events calendar
Example six-week rhythm (June–July 2026)
Move the dates to match your year. Keep public holidays visible so you do not plan a big outdoor push when half the company is already off.

What to post
Monday, Wednesday, Friday—keep it short
Monday: what is optional this week, how privacy works, who to ping for keys or routes. Wednesday: one progress snapshot—think one chart, not an essay. Friday: peer shout-outs with names and specifics (“thanks for translating the stretch card”).
Two languages side by side
When the crew mixes Danish and international colleagues, post both languages in the same thread. Short sentences up top, link to the long version.
One visual style per season
Reuse the same frame or colour bar so people know “official challenge post” at a glance and can ignore random noise channels.
Handouts
Printables people can touch
Facilitator folders feel better with matte checklists, a window sticker for the stretch room, and one honest photo that matches your office colours—not a fake beach.
Cross-check with safety & breaks
Leaders
Give bosses a one-minute brief they will read
Say it plainly: this is a time-boxed culture experiment, here is how privacy works, here is one number we care about—how many teams tried at least one activity—not who ran fastest. Offer a light task: a thirty-second welcome video or paying for a better water filter. Useful beats surveillance every time.
