Mr. Clean Magic Erasers make GREAT erasers for white boards. I usually cute each Magic Eraser into 4-pieces; it was the perfect size and really cleaned the boards.
Vocabulary Partners
This can be done in MANY ways. Here are a 2-options.
Pair up students. One person has their back to the board, the other person is facing the board. Put a vocabulary word on the screen. The person facing the board has 15-30 seconds (adjust as appropriate) to get their partner to say the word/phrase; only using clues and definitions. To make this a competition, those who succeed, move onto the next level, those who don't sit down. See who wins. Once the round is done, start over again, but reverse rolls.
Pair up students (or groups of 3). Give one person in the group a list of 5-10 vocabulary words. They have to use descriptions and definitions to get their partner to say the word. Once they have finish, give the other partner a new list and reverse rolls.
