IWB use in an English lesson

I am teaching poetry and the senses to reception and year 1. The IWB was useful as it enabled me to put the poem on the board for the children to see and to be able to recite it with me. I also was able to place some pictures around the poem to make it more visual and to help the poem come alive. I found that when you have saved work in a word document, all you have to do is move the images or indeed text straight from word by dragging your finger from what ever it is you want to move and then for a few seconds hold your finger over the smartboard document in the task bar and then it appears there. Doesn't always work but when it does it is very quick. I am currently thinking of ways to make teaching poetry and the senses more interactive on IWB- any ideas?

Yes.

Dragable words to add to the end of lines to achieve specific rhyme schemes.
