How to Play Kaboom:

1. Students sit in small groups and take turns drawing a card from the pile.
   
2. If they answer correctly, they keep the card.
   
3. If they answer incorrectly, the card goes back into the pile.
   
4. If they pull a Kaboom card, they must put all their cards back!
   
5. Play continues until time is up or all cards are used. The student with the most cards wins.
