Description: This printable instructional guide is a planning companion for the Money on My Phone: Tap to Pay Boom deck lesson series focused on money management, digital payments, and real-world purchasing skills. It is designed to serve as the starting point of the lesson, providing special education teachers with a high-level framework for planning and delivering intentional instruction using Boom decks. Rather than assigning digital activities in isolation, this guide helps teachers understand the full lesson progression across the deck series. Instructional targets move from recognizing digital payment tools and vocabulary to sequencing the steps of a Tap to Pay transaction, practicing phone-based payments, and demonstrating appropriate behavior at checkout. This supports functional money instruction that is structured, modern, and aligned to real-world community experiences. The guide includes instructional targets, pacing suggestions, background knowledge considerations, differentiation strategies, pre-teaching vocabulary, application ideas, assessment options, and IEP-aligned goal suggestions. It is especially helpful for teachers planning life skills, financial literacy, community-based instruction, and functional technology use for students learning how to navigate digital payments safely and independently.
