Why Use Boom Cards?

Boom Cards can be used on any digital device.

What Are Boom Cards?

Boom Cards are interactive, digital, academic games that can be found on Boom Learning. Teachers create the games and sell them on BoomLearning, Amped Up Learning, or Teachers Pay Teachers. A set of cards is called a “Boom Deck.” A deck can have audio clips, drag and drop activities, clickable answers, multiple choices questions, etc.

Why a Teacher Will Love Boom Cards

There is very little prep involved, other than providing a digital device for students to access the boom cards and giving students time on the device to become familiar with how to play with the Boom Cards. Teachers, you do need to create an account with Boom Learning. Instant feedback is provided to students. The Boom Cards can be used for distance learning or can be used in the class.

Why Use Boom Cards?

You will be able to find just about any skill or subject with Boom Cards. You can differentiate by assigning different decks for students depending on individual needs. If you have a paid account, you can track student progress and completion of each deck. You can assign them for homework, use them for centers, small groups, and independent practice.

I have made several sets of Boom Cards that address several skills. A good way to reinforce the sight words your students are learning is to assign some Sight Word Boom Cards for independent practice. Then you can assign a set of holiday-themed passages with missing sight words, Valentine Missing Sight Words.  

Ways to Use Boom Card Decks

Once the students know how to use the digital devices, you can assign a deck of cards to:

• all your students
• enrichment activities to individual students
• reinforcing skills 
• group assignments
• interventions
• choice activities
• recess fun

If you want to learn how to create a free or paid account with Boom Learning, watch this video, Boom 101, which will walk you through this. 

This is another way that I continue to create teaching resources that will help you meet the needs of your students!
