An interactive and fun way for young students to practice and learn basic computer coding and programming that contains loops.

Students move a Christmas character (either a reindeer, Santa, Mrs. Clause, or an elf) to the correct place at the North Pole by following the code.

Each coding sequence has at least one loop (a set of instructions that is repeated over and over again). Loops are a more efficient way for computer programmers to write code.

The loops instruct students to repeat a movement or direction (up, down, right, left) a certain number of times. For example, the following code instructs students to move right 3 times – Loop: ( ->3). Loop instructions are shown inside parentheses following the word “Loop”.

This Christmas digital Boom Cards resource helps students learn the importance of following each step of code in the correct sequence in order to get the desired response, why sequence matters in a computer program, and how to write code more efficiently.

This Christmas deck provides the practice students need to get comfortable with coding so they can go on to master more challenging activities. Practicing coding also improves sequencing skills, problem-solving, logical thinking, cause and effect skills, and computational thinking.

The Christmas digital Boom Cards are self-checking and include audio directions so young students can work independently.

Use on your interactive whiteboard, iPads, desktop, tablet, smartphone or with Google classroom.

What are Boom Cards?

Boom Cards are interactive, self-checking digital task cards that require NO PREP (no printing, cutting, or laminating required)!

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.

To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet. Boom Cards play on modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge). Apps are available for modern Android, iPads, iPhones, and Kindle Fires.

For security and privacy, adults must have a Boom Learning account to use and assign Boom Cards. You will be able to assign the Boom Cards you are buying with "Fast Pins," (a form of play that gives instant feedback to students for self-grading Boom Cards). For assignment options that report student progress back to you, you will need to purchase a subscription.

If you are new to Boom Learning, you will be offered a free trial. Read here for details: http://bit.ly/BoomTrial.
