I used a strategy called "roll em". I assign my table groups a number . Then each person within each group gets numbered. Then I roll the dice. One dice represents the table number and the other dice represents the person within that group. So if I roll 2 dice and I roll and 5 and a 3. Then person 3 in group 5 must answer the question. My kids love it because they think its a mini game. It teaches them that anyone could be called on not just the typical ones that raise their hands. Also, I always do a think-pair-share or turn-and-talk right before this. In the beginning of the year, I emphasize that this turn-and-talk or think-pair-share time is really a good time to get the answer if they didn't really know if before. If they don't know the answer, they listen a lot more to their partner because they may be rolled.
