I use the Bop It! game for the end of a class activity, or Energizer activity at the beginning (if you need a real jump start!) You can get this battery powered game at variety or toy stores. Voice commands are given to bop it, twist it, or pull it. For the most part it's done to a beat, but not always. When a student misses, the voice says, "Pass it." Even the older kids like it. When you need a fresh idea next spring, try it for something really different.
