“I Have, Who Has” is a St. Patrick’s Day fun game that is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The game consists of 30 editable game cards that feature a different St. Patrick’s Day-themed picture or phrase, such as a pot of gold, a leprechaun, or four-leaf clovers.
Here’s how to play the game:
- Shuffle the cards.
- Distribute the flashcards evenly among your speech students.
- Each card has a question related to St. Patrick’s Day.
- The first player reads their card out loud which will have a question related to a St. Patrick’s day vocabulary word.
The other players then listen carefully to see if they have the card with the answer to the question. If they do, then they read their card aloud and ask their own question. The game continues until all of the cards have been played. The first person to get rid of all their cards is the winner!
