Virtual Learners Love These Boom Cards
The animated verbs draw even the youngest learners’ eyes to the action in the picture and seems to naturally elicit that useful communication skill of labeling verbs. The virtual token pieces can be used as feedback by the SLP when the student verbalizes each word or part of the sentence. You will notice the laughs students get while telling you where to put the fun little animated characters in the scene. Students are just being silly or having fun, not even noticing that they are building descriptive language and answering “where” questions with specific descriptions and prepositions. Students will grasp pronoun use and marking individual words as they see the visual and printed-word examples under the pictures. 15 minutes of a session flies by just doing these Boom Cards or include them as part of any game by using a split screen.

A Powerful Tool to Bring Back into Your In-Person Speech Sessions
Students are thrilled to be their own SLP by moving the virtual token pieces on a Smart Board or iPad. These pieces become a way in which students can get that concrete tactile and visual input while matching colors and dragging them from left to right during their own attempts at verbalizations for every word or part of the sentence that they produce. The virtual token pieces can act as a pacing board and a means for students to cue themselves for their best speech practice. This act of dragging the token pieces really grounds the student to the activity.
The moveable characters and objects in the scenes can be dragged into locations of your choosing while the student learns to follow directions and listen to details. Students find these cards so engaging while you are racking up data on multiple objectives, like asking and answering wh- questions, following specific directions, describing locations, pronoun use, labeling verbs, turn-taking, and more.
The open-ended nature of these Boom cards makes them so useful as you can come back to them again and again as an activity by themselves or as part of any turn-taking game, like a great set of cards. Whether you are all virtual, in-person, or some mix of both, these Boom cards will help your day fly by. Students enjoy themselves while they are learning a specific and understandable technique to cue their own best speech.
These Boom Cards can teach students a format they can use throughout the stages of their language development. From basic word approximations and simple receptive language tasks all the way up to working on syntax and grammar of written sentences, these Boom Cards can help your students organize language in a visually memorable and concrete way.
