Have the students make up questions that are related to the review. Put the
questions on one side of the card, the answer on the other side. You should
check the question as well as the answer. Give each student five cards, have
them work with a partner and answer each other's question. If they work
together at the same time, both students are busy. They should keep score as 
to how many they have correct. They can then exchange cards with other
partners. You could promise them that 2 or 3 questions from the cards will
be on the final examination! Then you have to keep your promise.

Have you considered doing some art project: either tessellations or string
art? They get to take something home with them.

Check out the math forum's library on tessellations:

What ever you do, do not make more work for yourself.
