You can use a potato, the game is called "Hot Potato". Ss have to sit in a circle and pass around a potato very quickly, as if it were very hot. When you say stop, the person with the potato has to complete an exercise.
You could also play musical chairs, if you have 20 Ss then have 19 chairs in a circle, the Ss have to walk around the outside of the circle, when the music stops, or you say a specific word they all have to find a seat, the one without a seat has to complete an exercise.
For younger Ss I use a larged stuffed hammer or long balloon. If they get the question wrong they would get hit on the head with it. Most kids love this and it really makes them laugh. I found that some of them were getting the question wrong just so they could get hit with the balloon, so I switched it around so that they had to answer correctly.
If anyone else has any other ideas I would love to know.
