when putting students into groups this may sound silly but I sometimes have them countoff by two's. there is no bickering about who is on who's team it is strictly random

different learning speeds

I usually do the same with learners of different stages. I will try and group the different variey of learners together and lecture, then if they have questions they may ask me or they may turn to their fellow student and ask them.

spelling quizes

although they are not very popular I give a weekly or by chapter spelling test to my medical classes. Then when they see the words on the main test they have a better understanding of how to say them and spell them

Word Soup Challenge

In terminology memorization is the key, which is usually accomplished by repitition. a type of game where you have a certain time limit and notecards with different word parts on and the learner has to make as many words out of what is in the "bowl of soup" in the allotted time.

jeopordy

I make online jeopardy games also and divide the class in half and have a spokesperson. this is not only a great review prior to a test it gives the students a break from lecture
