Cool IWB Ideas!


  1. -Students touch with tennis ball instead of finger to avoid germs and squeaks.

  2. -Make a tennis ball “wand”
    http://firstgradefactory.blogspot.com/2011/10/smartboard-wands.html


  1. -Students gently toss a koosh ball or bean bag at screen to select an answer















  1. -Write students’ names on index cards and then shuffle to determine the order for using the IWB.














  1. -Use the baseball batting lineup idea for IWB activities. One student is at bat, one is on deck, and one is in the hole.


- Do a round robin activity where all students make a curved line in front of the IWB. A student touches an answer on the board and then goes to the end of the line.
