This Boom card deck targets what questions and where questions using animals and their habitats around the world.
There are 20 cards included in this deck, in total.
Each card includes 3 answer choices (one animal, one habitat, one incorrect foil answer) that you can drag and drop into the sentence below it to answer the “what” or “where” question.
Because these are Boom Cards, they work really well for teletherapy or digital speech therapy. You can read more about Boom cards below or on their website.

Patricia C. –
I use these cards with kids who are learning basic WH- questions. Some of the pictures I find are not as familiar to the kids (like bank teller) and the choice may be too many to choose from sometimes. It would be cool if we could chose the field of # for answer choices. Overall, it’s a great product like all your other resources.
Lindsay R. –
This resource has been wonderful to target wh- questions with my students on the autism spectrum. It helps teach what and where questions in a clear, creative, and engaging way.

Fun, engaging resource for distance learning! Cute and enjoyable for kids, but the main focus is still on explicit teaching of places and objects/animals for answering where and what questions.
Jessica W. –
I love the format of the boom cards so students can make a sentence. I did need to do some pre-teaching to show what was expected.
I will also add that some of the vocabulary is a little high for very small kiddos, such as the word: wetlands. Wetlands is great for 2nd graders who do an entire until on habitats, but it is not familiar to much younger students.
Overall, it’s a great product with good visuals.
