A word that most students would know, by middle school anyways, is beautiful. Depending on the textbook used, advertisement is also a word that students would know.

I've used the words 'atmosphere' 'performance' and 'xylophone' so far. However I jumble the letters up on the board.

Using words of this length and amount of vowels will result in a long list of words even from students that aren't confidant in speaking. Each word for my games is worth one point (3 and 4 letter words are the most common... I got a 'mother' out of 'atmosphere' and that has been the longest word so far).
At the end of the game I'll write the first and last letter of the main word above the jumbled letters (in the correct spots) and give them a moment to try guess the jumbled word. Its worth 20points and potentially a gamewinner. So far it has not been guessed.
