Hi Jyothsna,
At the outset, let me congratulate you for the initiative in starting some employee engagement activity. You will find many suggestions here and on the CiteHR in general, which I am sure you can adopt and adapt. In addition, feel free to give ample scope to your creativity and that of your colleagues.
Here are a few suggestions from me:
1. You can use the notice board and your internal email to broadcast the initiative. Have a theme of the month and let the posts be related to that theme. Ensure that at least 50% of the material is updated weekly. Encourage your colleagues to contribute, but try to ensure that the material is different and unique.
2. The material can include paintings, posters, photographs, news items, contributions from family members, particularly children, etc.
3. You can run a monthly contest with a token prize for the best contribution weekly/monthly, etc. To get involvement and motivate the staff, appoint 3-5 different staff members as judges each month.
4. To make it more participative, you can explore possibilities of making a particular department in charge of the board contributions/games and other activities for a particular month.
5. You can even put up and/or seek contributions from employees on inspirational material, maybe blog posts, recommend YouTube links, run an awareness campaign on global warming, environmental protection, etc.
There could be numerous recreational activities like games/quizzes/artistic activities, etc., and I am sure you will be able to expand on my suggestions/ideas!! Please also note that initially you will find it difficult to get contributions, but don't give up in frustration. Your enthusiasm must be infectious enough to get others to catch the idea bug and contribute.
You are also welcome to visit my daily and weekly blogs listed below for more inspirational and motivational content.
Best Wishes,
Jacob

Hello Jyothsna:
"I would like to conduct some Employee Engagement activities for my Department. Please suggest some team building activities or any fun activities."
Team building and employee engagement are not the same thing.
Employee engagement is the reward for management doing all things correctly.

Jyothsna,
Bob has hit the "nail on the head." So many mistakes. Employee Engagement is not achieved solely by Team Building activities. It is far from the truth. Please see [The Performance Improvement Blog: Employee Morale in the Time of Recession](http://stephenjgill.typepad.com/performance_improvement_b/2008/12/employee-morale-in-the-time-of-recession.html).
Have a nice day.
