Hey,
It's hard... I found that my students really get into competition. So I used, that points game- I found it on here, and they love it. Where you have word problems (reinforcing math vocabulary) and the answer is the number of points they win. I usually let them pick a "points card" before each turn during an activity. They keep track of all their points for a month on an index card and whoever has the most at the end of the month gets to pick a prize (this is the hardest part as middle schoolers tend to be quite picky). They all love the points thing, and I'll award points, for attendance, behavior, homework completion, etc.
Hope this helps!!
