My students are to the point where they can play all of our concert music, but there are still a few spots which scary intonation. We drill these areas almost every day, but sometimes students need the time/space to work through those areas more slowly and intentionally. I like do make intonation activities to do in class. I use google slides to make the worksheets (along with flat.io to add the notation). I often change the rhythm from the concert music to mostly quarter notes for students to focus all of their attention on the fingering/intonation.
Here are some samples:
