This is a "I Have, Who Has" game based on Kindergarten sight words. I would recommend using this towards the middle or end of the year. I have included 27+ playing cards for the use of this game. If you choose to download and want the editable copy, email and I will send you a copy of the MS Publisher original. Feel free edit as you deem fit. Happy Teaching! :) Tess Sharp

This document consists of the pawns you will need, visual directions along with written directions, and 3 different game boards. The game boards each have Kindergarten sight words on them.

This product is not only black and white friendly, but may also be printed out in color. I hope you will find this beneficial for your classroom. Thanks for viewing/downl

About the store

Experience

I have spent 6 years teaching 2nd grade. This upcoming year I will be the Resource Teacher for grades PK to 6th at my district.

Teaching style

I believe differentiation is the key to student success. As educators, we must always find the data and utilize it to inform our instruction. The instruction we present to our students must also be based in research and proven to work!
