Just reading though that list, a thought occurred to me: You might be able to adapt that pulse game into something to reiterate stress patterns. Teach patterns using big and small claps and then have them squeeze in rythm firmly and softly to form a simple textbook phrase. It'd be quite a challenge, and would likely fall apart in longer lines of students but it'd force them to basically read the sentence in their heads.

Thank you for compiling these all into a handy list.

Great resource! I've actually tried modified versions of these games with my middle and high schoolers and they always have enjoyed them.

You should consider Battleship. In my experience, it's one of those high-risk/high-reward sort of games where it's absolutely awful explaining the rules of the game in the target language, but eventually wonderful if you do surpass the hurdle and achieve understanding.

Worth a try if you have an exceptionally precocious bunch. Just my two cents.

Great work! :)
