Hot Potato game
Say an indefinite pronoun to the person holding the potato. For example: nobody or something. Then the student has to make a true sentence using that word (Nobody in this class is wearing a green shirt). 

Picture prompt 
Show up a picture of people doing things, then students write / say sentences about what the people are doing using indefinite pronouns. For example:

• Someone is playing the guitar.
• Everybody is eating ice cream.

Say Something! game
In this fun indefinite pronouns game, students race to complete sentences with indefinite pronouns. In groups of three, students take it in turns to pick up a card and read the sentence aloud to the other two students using the word 'blank' for the missing indefinite pronoun, e.g. 'I lost my mobile phone. I've looked for it BLANK'. The other two students listen and then race to grab the correct indefinite pronoun card to complete the sentence. The first student to grab the correct indefinite pronoun card from their set and give it to the reader, saying the pronoun at the same time (e.g. everywhere) wins and keeps the sentence card. The student with the most sentences at the end of the game wins. (https://www.teach-this.com/parts-of-speech-activities-worksheets/indefinite-pronouns)
