Make vocabulary review fun and engaging with this digital guessing game! In this interactive “What Am I?” Boom Cards™ activity, students read short clues and identify one of four common objects. The game encourages critical thinking, inferencing, and reading comprehension while reinforcing everyday English vocabulary.
Each card features a simple, descriptive sentence that helps students use logic and language skills to choose the correct picture. The clues include both positive and negative sentence structures, making it ideal for ESL, ELL, and EFL students at the lower elementary level. Once students select the correct answer, they’ll see the word and image together — helping with spelling, vocabulary retention, and confidence.
