I've been playing a game this past week that has worked really well. We're talking about interesting or unusual experiences. I gave the students 5 minutes to write about their experience, 3 or 4 sentences. They wrote their names on the paper and I collected them. Then, I read out the papers one by one and the students had to guess who it was. I put the guessers in teams of 2 and warned the person whose paper I was reading to not give anything away, at the risk of losing a point for their team. Then, after we were done they pass their paper to another team and we marked them together.
The winning teams got a stamp, which is the currency in my class. You can offer a small prize of some sort, or whatever you do.
Very fun...but only works if the class is small (less than 20 for sure...better with 10 or 12) and the students know each other fairly well.
