Interactive Whiteboard Resources


Got an interactive whiteboard hanging there doing nothing? Below are a few sites which feature interactive literature and language resources suited to whiteboards:

Eats, Shoots & Leaves

The site for Lynne Truss's book features games which ask participants to position punctuation marks correctly in text.

Have a look at: http://eatsshootsandleaves.com/ESLquiz.html

Globe Theatre

Introducing Shakespeare? This site from the Open University lets pupils explore the theatre in 3D, inside and out.

Dickens Timeline

This site features an attractive interactive timeline showing what was happening in the novelist's life and around the world as each book was published.

BBC Skillwise

A packed site featuring noisy, colourful games on spelling, grammar etc.

Penalty Shootout

A quiz game which lets pupils take penalties against George Bush, Shakespeare and others. This one is based on Twelfth Night, but you can buy the template for a small fee and make your own quizzes on whatever you choose.

Have fun! Your pupils will.
