Ideas for how to use your Boom cards.

We hope that our Boom cards will assist in instilling faith in our young children as they learn about the bible, the people and events in the bible and God who love them so much! We hope they will also begin to grasp how relevant the bible is to our world today.

Below are some ideas for how you can use our free Boom cards.

You can use our Boom cards for group instruction – either at home or school. If you have access to an interactive whiteboard, you can use some of our Boom cards together in class. For example, our quiz cards can be answered by the whole class or the whole class can listen to the bible story readings together.
Also, you can start a Bible Club if you have access to several devices (iPads, tablets, laptops or computers). Assign Boom cards to the students and get them to work individually or engage them in a fun competition.
Additionally, you can use the Boom cards for individual instruction. As a parent, you can assign different Boom cards to your children based on their age groups and learning capability. While they work through the tasks, you can seize the opportunity to engage and interact with them. While children can learn independently, we encourage parents to connect and interact with the Boom cards and the children.
Next, teachers and parents can use the Boom cards for revision, homework and practice after lessons. We encourage teachers and parents to create their own accounts first so they can assign Boom cards and monitor student reports.
If you are a school, you can include relevant Boom cards from our library in your religious education curriculum to enhance learning.
Finally, you can also use our Boom cards for virtual learning, for example, through Zoom.
