It will help expand their creative minds about the particular topic. 
Academic Competition- If you involve your students in academic competition it will teach them academically, leadership, and group dynamics. I think this is a great way to help gifted students. 
Vertical Enrichment- Create assignments for you gifted students that goes past what you have already taught them. It can really challenge them as well as expanding their problem solving skills. 
Find a Mentor- Find some type of mentor that wants to work with them on a particular interest. 
Try a new Approach- Let them figure out certain information on your own instead of just giving it to them.
