In Dead Silent the idea is to be.....totally dead silent. Give students challenges which they must complete being absolutely silent. For example, you could ask them to line up in a girl/boy pattern - or from shortest to tallest - or alphabetically (only works for older kids). Or - with a sticky note, write a number on each paper from 1 to the number of students there are in the class and ask them to line up from one to whatever. You can time them to see how fast they do it. If they make a sound the timer starts again. You could make a rule that says three times starting again and the game is over. Good incentive game.

Game - Sparkle Spelling
Fun spelling game to try. Iv'e used with third grade and up and SOME second grade classes. It can be a good behavior incentive too.
Have the students either line up against the wall or stand in a circle so they are shoulder to shoulder. Choose where your starting point is and give the first child a spelling word. They say the first letter of the word, the next child says the next letter, and so on and so on until the last letter is reached. After the last letter is reached, the next child says SPARKLE and then the next child has to sit down. If a letter is missed the student has to sit down and I start the word again with the next student. After someone says SPARKLE and the next child sits down, I start a new word. Continue the game until you are down to one child. I tell them "no repeats" so they have to pay attention.
