Can you move around the lecture hall? Because doing a Donahue and walking up and down the aisles can be a really effective way of shutting the gigglers up. If you spend a few minutes delivering the lecture standing right next to them for a few lectures in a row, I bet they simmer down. Especially if you go stand right next to them immediately following a giggling episode.
