What You Need:

1 set of 'I Have... Who Has...?' bl, fl & pl words
1 Stopwatch (optional)

Preparation:

- Print and laminate the cards so they will withstand the rigors of classroom use.

One Way to Play:

1. Distribute all the cards randomly to the students. NB Some students may receive multiple cards.
2. Students stand in a circle with their cards.
3. The teacher selects a student at random to start the game and they read their card and sit down. e.g. I have plant. Who has please?
4. The student with the 'please' card says aloud, 'I have please. Who has plenty? & sits.
5. Play continues in this question and response fashion until all students are sitting. At this point the game is complete.

Teaching Point - Students must listen attentively so they don’t break the flow of the game.

Suggestion - Use the stopwatch to time the length of the game. Over the course of a week challenge the students to get faster at completing the challenge.
