A great game to practice building your 'inner time clock' - which also works great for students too, is to play along to a metronome and shut off the sound for a bar or so, then turn it back on and see how close you are to being on the beat. As you get better at it, increase the number of bars the metronome is silenced for.

I start this type of workout with students at 120 bpm, a common tempo, and then work on the very slow and very fast tempos. You'll find the slower tempos to be much harder to keep perfectly in sync. There's that much more time to make mistakes!
