EXPLAIN
“I Have Who Has?”

Melissa Bisbo
 “I Have, Who Has?”
1. Distribute one card to each student.
2. As you distribute the cards, encourage students to
begin thinking about what the question for their
card might be so that they are prepared to answer.
When all cards are distributed, select the starred
card to begin by asking the “who has” question
listed on that card.
3. Play continues until the game comes back to the
original card. That student answers and then says
"stop" to signal the end of the game.

Timed Play:
Consider using a stopwatch to time the class game.
Record the time on the board so that students try
each game to beat their current best time.
