Boom cards transform learning into hands-on, interactive, immediate feedback FUN Learning.

Boom “decks” are made up of individual, digital task cards for students to complete.

Where Can I Purchase Boom Cards and BOOM Decks?

How to Use Boom Cards and Decks

  1. Purchase decks or bundles from a TeachersPayTeachers store like mine. Check out just like you normally would!
  2. Once you have purchased, you’ll receive a PDF download. Open up the PDF.
  3. Inside the PDF, you will find links to a Boom deck or decks. Click each link, one at a time, to add the decks to your Boom library. (You will have to create or log into your Boom account.)
  4. If you have purchased a large bundle, it may take some time to add all the links to your Boom library. However, once you have clicked each link once, it will ALWAYS remain in your Boom library for you to access
