I have incorporated vocal warm-ups in my classroom.  Draw long or short lines, squiggles, mountains, swirls... I have my middle school students warm up their voices by following the line shape on the board.  It also helps them understand how their voice works, as some of them have not had much singing experience.
They like to take turns drawing and directing the class,... and they all get very silly performing them.
