Mark Warner:
Here are some ideas to try:
Phil Wright:
I'm a big fan of using current affairs in quiz type activities and looking at issues that aren't covered normally. I often give kids the chance to look at one aspect of history they've always wanted. We have done lessons on Who killed Kennedy? What's going on in the Bermuda Triangle? Who was Jack the Ripper? The kids really got into being investigators.
Jbeddington:
Evaluate the reaching or not of goals. Set some new goals and plan how to achieve them.
Michelle:
Ask students in groups to brainstorm ideas for keeping up their level of English over the summer, they'll come up with lots of ideas from watching DVD's in English, reading magazines/song lyrics, using online websites, etc. Put their ideas on the board and then get students to decide which ones they'll definitely try to do, which ones they might do and which ones they won't do, and give reasons for their choice. This always creates a lot of discussion and works well as a way for setting goals for the summer hols.

Maybe at the end of the year you could play a song or songs (e.g. The future has arrived, I can feel it, I can go the distance, Be the change, Don't stop believing).
