I like the what is behind the box? template which will really get the students to look into pictures and guess the concept which is delivered by the picture.. they will analyse parts of the picture as they are being revealed slowly. My colleague also used it for the National Day game show last year.

I like the big board game too - just replace the topics and the questions and you create your own game show! 
The teams get to choose the topics and the questions.
If they get it right the points are recorded at the bottom of the board. Download Big Board Facts

Random pick and timer

A good tool to use to randomly pick students: http://www.classtools.net/education-games-php/fruit_machine you can just copy and paste from excel the class list. Click on remove after the student had been selected so that he or she will not be selected again. Or you can click on edit and edit the list anytime.

 

Another useful tool will be the timer for group or class work: http://www.timeanddate.com/timer/#
