Interactive Whiteboard Activities

This page will give you a jumpstart to finding interactive whiteboard activities to engage and motivate your students. The Interent has some great resources for interactive whiteboards that don't tie you to a certain brand of whiteboard, and we've included some of our favorites here.

It would be near impossible for this to be an all-inclusive list, but we've tried to provide starting links to these resources and a few sample activities from each site to get you started.

If you are a clicker user, you may also find that many of these activities are conducive to clicker use, and we have provided even more clicker links on our clicker activities page.

In addition to the resources listed below, eInstruction's recently launched eI Community provides a resource for educators to check out blogs and participate in discussion boards to find out the latest educational "buzz," as well as to share their high-quality resources. Resources are searchable and contain a variety of file types, including CPS Databases, ExamView banks, content bundles, images and PDFs, Adobe Flash objects, Microsoft Office documents, text files, video, and audio. This is not only a great resource to get resources, but a fantastic venue to share your own!

Some of Our Favorite Starting Points for Whiteboard Activities

  An excellent resource and the majority of the site is free. Activities are listed by subject area (it covers many) and grade level (pre-K through 6th grade). We happened upon this super Place Values block activity, a 6th grade real-world geometry activity finding area and perimeter from Bucky's Blueprints, and some great language arts activities that you could even use clickers with.
