TEACHER INFO: Game Set-Up
Print off the cover, laminate it, and attach it to a large manila envelope (with clasp) or gallon-size baggie. You can include all of the pieces for this activity in the envelope or baggie so it’s easy to find and use. Print off the “I Have – Who Has” cards, cut them out, and laminate them so that they will last longer. Each student will need a card, so you may need to print off more than one set. (It takes 2 for my class, with a few students getting more than one card.) *Make sure that you print off each set on different colored paper. This way, students will make matches with others who have the same color cards. It’s easier (and less chaotic) if you designate areas of your room for each card’s color. (Example—reds by the door, blues in the corner, etc.) © Brain Wrinkles

TEACHER INFO: Game Directions
To play the game, each student will get one card. (If there are extra cards, some students may get more than one.) The student who has the START card will read the card aloud first. The student who has the answer will say, "I have ___, who has ___?" The game continues until the group reaches the END card. The team that finishes first is the winner!  © Brain Wrinkles
