Closure Activities

My district is really big on closure activities, and being a middle school teacher it is difficult not only for me but boring to the students to have only an Exit Ticket type closure. Is there a textbook or online site where one can find different ideas of closure activities?

do you have any successful closure activities?

I am not sure this is what you are looking for but... I sometimes have them stand up with a partner and explain to the partner what they learned. I give them one minute. I then give the partner 30 seconds to add what he/she learned. The one caveat is that the partner with 30 seconds cannot repeat anything that the first partner said. Finally, if there is time, I ask them to report back to the class what the learned--one things. We make a list on the board and leave it there as a starting point for tomorrow.
