Put a figure on the board, such as a clown, cat, Marvel character, etc....and tell the class that they need to answer the question correctly (like 80% or higher) or the character gets a pie in the face. Then, if there is a lack of participation or the majority gets it wrong, the class gets to pie the character. It can be flipped, too. If majority gets it right, the character gets pied.
