I Have, Who Has? is a fun game that can be used in so many different ways! When I was teaching third grade I played a version of this to practice basic multiplication and division. I’ve also seen it played practicing words & their definitions in older grades.

In today’s blog post I have a free printable of this game to practice capital letters. You can find this printable at the end of today’s post as well as a link to purchase my Preschool Games & Activities Bundle. These interactive activities are a wonderful way to have fun with your little one and learn at the same time!

I Have, Who Has? Instructions:

• Pass out the cards evenly between the players.
• Since Preschoolers will not be able to read the words help them learn the pattern of ‘I have ____, who has ____?’
• Whoever has the one that says ‘start’ at the top will go first.
• The game begins by the person with the ‘start’ card reading their card. For instance, “I have B, who has S?”. That person will put their card down in the center. All players will look through their cards to find the letter ’S’. Then whoever has it will read their card. For example, “I have S, who has M?”. The game will continue in this manner until all cards are used up.

A few tips to this game:

• When children put the cards down on the discard pile it is a good opportunity to double check that they have the correct letter.
• Keep in mind that the person who just read a card might also be the one who has the next card.
• Rather than holding all of the cards, allow younger players to lay them down on the floor or table so they can get assistance.
• Practice the ‘I have, who has’ pattern before playing the game so they understand what to say as they play.

Variations of the game:

• If learning letter sounds you could play in a different way such as “I have ‘bah’ (B), who has S?” The next person would say, “I have ‘sss’, who has M?. Etc.
• This game could also be played ONLY with letter sounds. “I have ‘bah’, who has ‘sss’?”

I hope you are able to find time to play this game with your little one soon! My children love the game and I love that it allows me to play alongside them as they learn. If you enjoy this post and would like to receive more resources similar to this please join my email community!
