The Possibilities Are Endless

One good idea is to write sentences that have mistakes(DOL) and have the students come up and make corrections. When the students know that they are going to be able to come up to the interactive board they pay extra attention. The students who are not chosen to come up to the board can be making corrections on their whiteboards. That way everyone is working and have to time to be fooling around.

Any time a child can come up to the interactive whiteboard and interact with it is a plus.

Here you will be "Killing many birds with one stone" The child is dragging the shape to its name. The child is not only learning the name of the shape, but how it looks and how it is spelled. You are also addressing the kinesthetic and visual learning styles of the children.

Here the children are learning the long and short vowels. They are classifying the words by putting them in groups of long and short vowels. Again, "Killing two birds with one stone".
