Digital Boom Cards Version
The digital Boom Cards are a self-guided and self-checking escape room that leads students through a fun learning adventure where they must solve challenging riddles and puzzles in order to save Sammy Squirrel's acorns.
Audio files on each card lead students through the escape/breakout activity. Young students can complete it independently, with fellow students, or show it on your whiteboard and complete it as a class or together on a Zoom meeting.

They offer an easy way for teachers to assess important skills and a fun way for students to practice these skills.
They are perfect for whole group instruction on an interactive whiteboard or small group instruction, center activities, individual practice on an iPad, laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
