Our middle school does an academy awards like the Oscars for 8th grade.
They come up with categories and students create posters promoting their
book for a certain category.  The hallway is flooded with posters and then
the kids vote on the books.

For 7th grade they do a tic-tac-toe board or Bingo where the kids have to
read 3-5 of different genre.

6th grade they do a Battle of the books each trimester.
