We have created this free “I Have, Who Has” contractions game to give students practice with forming contractions.
This new game is designed to engage your students in contraction practice!
This set of cards contains 28 different cards.
The “I have…Who has…?” cards focus on helping students form contractions. It is meant to be a fun and engaging way to practice.
We like this contractions game for a couple of reasons.
- First, it is a fun way for students to practice a necessary skill that might not always be so fun.
- Second, students must practice their listening skills – if they are not attentive when playing, they will miss their clue.
- And, finally, students get practice reading and speaking so their classmates can hear them.
For any of you who may be unfamiliar with “I have…Who has…?” activities, here are the directions.
- Pass out all the cards. If you don’t have 28 students, consider giving some students two cards or you could keep the extra cards and participate where needed in the activity.
- We have included 4 blank cards just in case your class is larger than 28.
- Once the cards are passed out, the student with the words “I am first” reads their card first by asking the question.
- Whoever is holding the card with the answer to that question, reads their own card…which includes another question.
- Play continues until the last student, whose card says “I am last”, has read their answer.
We have provided this set with and without a colorful background.
You could print the color version on card stock and laminate for durability and continued use or simply print the black & white set on copy paper and throw them away as they become worn out.
We also know that some teachers prefer to print the black and white set on colorful card stock in order to save on color ink, so that is an option as well.
