My student work diligently on word searches. When I need them to stay silent after a test, I have a stack of word searches for them to work on. A full-page size maze is doing the trick too. I need to make sure I have this done every time.
I also need to work on making table-top dividers also known as "offices" and "privacy folders". I have long tables that sit 6 students each.
I also also need to rethink my seating arrangement. I might do two U-shaped rows with every student facing forward.

I also recommend a series of books called Perplexors. They are logic-based word puzzles that help with deductive reasoning and reading skills. I used Level A with my fourth graders last year, and they really liked them. I think the series extends into high school. This might be another quiet option for your students.
Also, my students enjoy geometric art--making designs of various geometric shapes and coloring them in patterns.
Just some ideas. Hope everything is going well.
I use table-top dividers during tests also. I call them privacy shades. They are effective against wandering eyes, but watch out for students who try to do sneaky business behind them.
Astonishing essays from our writers! For you!
