OMG… I found an amazing product for your Teen or even the entire family. I constantly complain to my kids or co-workers that people need to slow down and be kind to each other. I hardly ever get someone to stop and let me out in the bus line, or have someone be nice and let me jump ahead with one item in the grocery line. I always do little deeds to make people feel special, it’s called “Random Act of Kindness”. A lot of people have gotten away and just think about themselves and how busy they are and just hurry hurry hurry. Stop for a minute and think about others around you.
Now back to the product that I think is just super cool and amazing. I’m super excited to introduce you to Boom Boom Cards.
I know, you are dying to know what Boom boom Card are; they are
With Boom Boom! Cards, you perform underground acts of guerilla goodness, post about the experience (pictures and video too!) on this website, and then pass the card on to someone else. Each card’s unique ID number makes it possible to follow every card that’s played on the website’s map. With Boom Boom! Cards, you never know where your one act of kindness may end up!
The purpose of this deck of cards is for families to create an “uprising of guerilla goodness” in their homes and communities. There are 26 cards in the deck, each with an intentional act of kindness on it; as a family you play a card, post about your experience on the companion website , give the card away and then watch where it goes on the
website’s map.The Family Deck of Boom Boom! Cards was named the Socially Responsible Toy of the Year from Brilliant Sky Toys & Books. The Family Deck retails for $14.99. There are also three other versions of Boom Boom! Cards: the Original Deck (meant for adults), the Teen Deck and Green Deck all retail for $9.99.
You can also play the free “Everyday” virtual card on the site
Isn’t that cool? We received the Teen deck. It actually was so cool, my Teen took it to school and told all his friends about it. They are all excited to see the cards “travel” and see what stories the cards have to tell and how many acts of kindness will come out of one deck of cards. This is exciting; I’m, as a mom, even get excited to see where the cards travel and how many people one little card has helped.
The cards have simple kindness acts like “ Smile at and acknowledge someone who might feel as if they are ignored” and then even give a Revolutionize idea…. Strike up a conversation with them…. or “When your parents or guardian asks “How was your day?” actually tell them and then the Revolutionize it idea “Give them details”….
Once you did a good deed from the card go online to Boom Boom cards register your card and pass the card on to a friend, a family member or even a stranger and see your card and kindness travel the town, state, country maybe even the world.
How cool is that? I love it! Something to get the kids talking, get them involved in the community and also learn valuable lessons in life. Be kind to others!
I have to admit at first I was a bit confused but the more time I spend online reading and checking out the website, the more excited I got. What an amazing concept!
If you have a Teen in the house, you should get a set for their Christmas Stocking. I think this would be so much fun; the teen kit retails for $9.99 but is worth so much more in return. Just think, pride, smiles, and many more feelings that can’t be described when you help someone out. So, help your Teen out and get them on the Boom Boom high. You can purchase them HERE.
