I have an old trophy that I use as a bragging rights trophy to have classes compete against each other with random assignments, class sets, participation, etc. They love it and ask constantly when we are going to play again. I typically play once or twice a month.

In my 8th grade class I have a secret student that changes each day. If the secret student is engaged they choose a card which moves their class on a giant game board on my wall. It's a competition between classes and students will remind each other to stay focused in case they are the secret student.

I use kinesthetic chants and choral responses throughout lessons. For example, definitions have a rhythm and hand motions that students learn and chant. I call back this information regularly to continue spacing the retrieval of the material throughout the year. I even use these chants as whole-class attention grabbers.
