"Education is the key to unlocking the world a passport to freedom"

Yesterday, when I was planning my lesson for a group of children (8 years old) I thought what can I do to make this lesson more interesting for them? These children are digital natives. Although, they enjoy playing games outside, they love playing online games and technology in general. So, I always try to include MIMIO on my lessons but sometimes I don't have enough time to do it (I need time to do it because it's new for me and I'm still learning. I'm not very creative but I try to do my best).
Since yesterday I didn't have enough time to prepare some games and activities on Mimio  I prepared a short game on Power point, just to revise vocavulary and a simple introduction of the grammar point of the unit. The outcome was great :) .These children are so into visual things that even the simplest activity (on a well-known tool) engaged them.
Here is the game. It  was very simple and maybe silly (just answering questions to revise the vocabulary we saw the previous lesson+ find someone who...) but they turned it into a competition and had fun doing it. That was the most rewarding part.
