How about having your students make the games up themselves?
The Game Project - Create an original game incorporating psychological
concepts. The key requirement is that the game should be designed so that
advancement or success in the game is dependent on knowledge of concepts
covered in the course. You may focus either on breadth (a lot of topics
with basic equal coverage of each) or depth (one chapter in a lot of detail
- there should be more cohesiveness here, fitting together as a unit). You
may model it after an existing game or it can be entirely unique. The game
should take about 20-30 minutes and can be played by as many people as you
want. The game needs to include step by step instructions as well as all of
the props needed to play the game. Points are also given for effort,
creativity, and presentation.
