Hi teacher friend,

Hey teacher friend 👋

Quick Tuesday tip straight from the “I need this to work with minimal effort” department.

Why Boom Cards are a game-changer

Boom Cards are one of those tools that quietly do a LOT of heavy lifting:

  • students work at their own pace
  • instant feedback (no “I don’t know if this is right” panic)
  • self-checking = less grading for you
  • perfect for review, centers, early finishers, sub days… you name it

They’re especially powerful during review season, when engagement tends to drop and time is… fictional.

I wrote a full post about how and why Boom Cards work so well in real classrooms (not theory-land) — and there’s also a free Boom deck inside, if you’d like to try them out with your students before committing.

Quick heads-up: Hashtag Sale

Today and tomorrow my most popular Boom Card decks and bundles are discounted ($1 and half price) — so it is a great moment to grab:

  • no-prep practice
  • ready-to-use review
  • activities students actually want to complete

If Boom Cards are part of your routine (or you want them to be 👀), this is a good time to stock up.

As always, thanks for being here — and if you have a favorite way you use Boom Cards in class, hit reply.

I genuinely love stealing good ideas 😄

Talk soon,
