POWERPOINT
Create Games such as Jeopardy. At the same time, there are plenty of templates that honor copyright: http://www.netxv.net/esc/technology/InstructionalTechnology/templates/powerpoint.htm
Have them make up short PowerPoints to play “Guess the Number.” If you need, there are Internet sites with number guessing games for ideas, such as http://www.funbrain.com/kidscenter.html
Presenting reports, group projects, etc. Cumulative projects…start a PowerPoint on a given
concept at the first of a school year. Each time you build on that concept, go back and add another slide.
