Classroom Strategies for Playing an "I Have Who Has..." Whole Class Game:
1. Distribute one card to each student, then distribute the extras to strong students in the beginning and random students as the class becomes more familiar with the deck.

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 student with the starter card (I have the first card) to begin. Play continues until the game loops back to the original card or ends with the "end" card (games are written differently). That student answers and then says "the end" to signal the end of the game. (PLEASE NOTE: When reading the cards, Vowel name and letter name should be said as many letter/vowel combinations make the same sound.)

3. After the class is comfortable with this game format, 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. This practice encourages students to stay attentive and prompts students to practice basic facts so that the class time improves.

 

Discourage students from calling out answers by adding 5 seconds to the class time whenever you hear an answer from someone who does not hold the card. Use the same penalty for students who express vocal displeasure with delays by other students.

 

Partner or Small-Group Play:
1. One student deals out the cards to all players.

2. Players arrange the cards face-up in front of them. Students will find that arranging the cards in order of Alef Beis will help them locate cards quickly.

3. Play begins with the starter card.

4. Play continues as in the class game. Whoever has the card that answers the question reads that answer and then reads the question on that card. Students turn over the cards after reading them. The first person to turn over all his/her cards wins the game.

5. Shuffle the cards and repeat the game.
