I Have, Who Has…?
Want to play a quick game that builds fluency? I Have, Who Has is the perfect game for warm-ups and repetitive practice. To play, create enough cards for all the students in your class or group. Some students may have 2 cards.
You can use this game for practice with:
- Math facts
- High frequency words
- Vocabulary words
- Content-related questions and answers
Here are the steps for playing:
- Give each student a card with a “I have, Who has…. Statement/question.”
- Have the students read the card and think about the question.
- Begin the game by having one student read his/her card aloud.
- Whoever has the card with the answer on it will read next.
- Play continues until the person who began the game hears the question to their “I have…” statement.
- You may time the group for fluency with root word knowledge.
I’ve prepared sets of cards for Kindergarten through 8th grade. Each set contains 5 cards so that small groups of students can play as a warm-up for small strategy groups. I hope this makes your teaching life a little easier and increases your students’ achievement!
