Leaderboard Practicalities in the Classroom

I am experimenting with leaderboards at the moment - I started off with post-it notes on the wall, but they just kept falling off. I want leaderboards for a variety of tasks and games.

I have been thinking of possible economical solutions for this: small acrylic  index card displays are expensive - I've come up with a possible solution - alligator clips strung on strings, and hung from the wall...they are cheap, and cards can be attached to the clips.  Some of the clips have a hole so they can be strung together easily.

To start with, I  put up the percentage scores for times attack - this created an immediate frisson in the classroom. One student had scored 100% and other students from different classes were popping their heads around the corner to check out the scores.
