I have had “that day”. One year we were able to leave some students behind (no permission slip, discipline infractions), and I volunteered to stay with them. When they heard I was the teacher for the day, EVERY student got a parent in to sign the slip OR stayed home! I had ZERO students for a four hour block of time! I prepped materials, graded and sorted papers, and packed a section of the classroom! Most importantly, I DID NOT ANSWER THE PHONE😈 because admin clearly bumped their collective heads if they THOUGHT I was going to fill in for ANYONE!
I make them play scrabble with me

You make a good point. A lot of the teachers let the kids who stay behind play games or watch a movie. Other teachers made the kids work because they felt that it wasn't fair to make the kids work while others were having a good time.
I have students help me clean/organize my room for next year. Then I bring in a special treat, the next day for my newfound "helpers".

Surprisingly, my 6th Graders love it when I bring out the cleaning supplies. They dig in and dust, wipe down tables, chairs, and desks, and sweep the floor
