The content is generally based on games that I found to be quite effective with a normal whiteboard or chalkboard except made to be easier to facilitate and more engaging. An example would the game of Typhoon that I have played many a time with a chalk board. In this game there is a grid of about 25 squares and the students in two teams take turns choosing a square. Each square has a points value and that number of points are added to their team's score then the team with the most points at the end wins. This game always worked well and engaged the students effectively however, I think it works a lot better and more smoothly in this IWB format as the setup is instantaneous and the scores are added to each team automatically. What's more the appearance makes it more interesting for the students.
