Get your next math lesson vibing from the very start! Our ‘I Have, Who Has?’ games are a total hit with students and teachers alike, and for good reason. 

Help your students recall skip counting (or repeated addition) facts with speed and automaticity by using this fun game in our class as a warm-up or as an end of day game. 

How to Play Skip Counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s &10s I Have Who Has

1. Shuffle the deck and hand one card to each student. If there are any remaining cards, give some students two cards. 
2. Have the students stand up and look at their card(s).
3. The student with the card, “I have the first card” will start the game. They will read their card out loud and sit down.
4. The student who has the card with the correct answer then reads their card out loud and sits down.
5. Play continues until all cards have been read.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of passionate teachers created this skip counting resource to support your math lessons.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Help students who need help understanding the concepts by using the fishbowl method before playing. Gather a small group of students together in the centre of the room. Have the group model how to play the game before the whole class joins in.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students who need a bit of a challenge, encourage them to create an array, repeated addition, or word-based problem which reflects the fact on their card.
