One of my elementary schools has a great vocab program in which there is a word of the week. Students can submit a sentence using the word, and they are read with the daily announcements. They get such a kick out of hearing their names over the speaker.

I have also done a word of the day in classrooms, where if a student uses the word in an appropriate way, or catches me using the word, they get a point for their table.
