I use a variation of "Wheel of Fortune" (the American TV show) that students really like to play. It also tricks them into saying longer sentences that they usually don't have the confidence to say. I do this with P3 through P6, but my class sizes are between 18-25...so, maybe it can work for your larger classes. Split them into teams, making sure to put the more clever kids on different teams. I award each team 10 baht per letter (not really) and they must buy vowels at 5 baht per letter. When they say the whole sentence, that team gets 20 baht.
Also, Stop the bus is always a good game, they must make a list of words starting with a given letter and for four or five categories...i.e. food, country, job...letter A, apple, Australia and actor. When a team completes its list they must shout "Stop the bus" and everyone stops. Any words that other teams wrote don't count; the idea is to reward the teams that come up with less obvious words.
