Do your students need extra practice recognizing and using action verbs? This interactive “I Have, Who Has?” card game is a fun way to review 40 high-frequency verbs while strengthening listening, speaking, and concentration skills. Students stay engaged as they match verb pictures with the corresponding verb words, making this an excellent resource for ESL, EFL, and ELL learners.
How the Game Works
Each student receives one or more cards. A player begins by reading their card aloud: “I have drink. Who has ride?” The student with the matching verb responds, and the chain continues until all cards are used. This format encourages active listening, vocabulary recall, and oral participation. With 40 verbs included, students get plenty of practice recognizing and pronouncing action words in English.
