Lineup
Have students line up in order of birthdate, height, number of family members, numbers of the bus they ride to school, alphabetical order of middle name, etc. Have them do this without talking. This is a good energizer for getting your group focused, settled, and silent. The lineup is also a handy way to get your class into random cooperative groups.
