When I teach place value, I use index cards. Each child gets a set of index cards with numbers 0 - 9 on them. (Only use a number once) Then I have them put the numbers in order as I say it. (example: one thousand, four hundred twenty - They place the numbers: 1 420 Note: space for comma.) Also, you can have them point to the number in the thousands place. Or what number is in the tens place? Or you can also use these index cards to compare numbers. The kids liked it! Another fun thing . . . have students work in pairs or small groups. They need to roll a die. Each student can choose on their paper wherever they would like to place the number on the die. Then they continue rolling for a set amount of times, and then they compare numbers. Whoever has the greatest # (or smallest) earns a point. The key is once a number is written , it cannot be changed. Any questions, just ask.
