You can do ANYTHING with students. BUT, you have to make the time investment to let them practice the procedure surrounding the activity. Wang makes this clear in his First Days of School book. I think this is where teachers don't spend time because they see it as wasted time... then waste their time chasing their students around for the rest of the year. I also think someone needs to do workshops clarifying the difference between rules and procedures. You hit on a major point here. You can do ANYTHING with students.
