He has/ She has games

Do the activity or activities from here that your teacher tells you to:

  1. Choose one of the People Cards below without showing it to your partner. Say what the person that is written on your card has and doesn’t have until your partner guesses who you are speaking about.
  2. Choose one of the People Cards and show it to your partner. Make “Your… has…” and “Your… doesn’t have…” statements about that one person related to your partner (e.g. your partner’s father) until they say “That isn’t true”. Then change roles and play the same game. You get one point for each true statement that you said before your partner says “That isn’t true”. If they say “I don’t have a...”, e.g. “I don’t have a brother”, you get no points in that round. If they say “I don’t know”, you don’t get a point but you can continue asking questions.
  3. Choose one of the Things Cards below, and make “Your… has…” and “Your… doesn’t have…” statements about the same one thing and different people until your partner says “That isn’t true”. You get one point for each true statement. If your partner says “I don’t have a...”, e.g. “I don’t have a big sister”, you also don’t get a point and have to stop. If they say “I don’t know”, you don’t get a point but can continue.
  4. Choose one of the Answers Cards from below and try to get that answer from your partner by asking “Does your… have…?”
  5. Deal out all the Answers Cards. Look at your own cards but don’t show them to your partner. Take turns trying to get answers on your cards from each other by asking yes/ no “have” questions about people who your partner knows. If you get the answer on one of your cards, you can put that card down on the table. The person holding the fewest cards when the teacher stops the game is the winner.
  6. Choose an answer by rolling a dice and try to get an answer matching that number from your partner by asking “Does your… have…?” 1= “Yes, he does”, 2= “No, he doesn’t”, 3= “Yes, she does”, 4= “No, she doesn’t”, 5= “I don’t know”, 6 = “I don’t have a…”
  7. Play the same game as 5 or 6 above, but this time you have to ask about something that is on a card from the Things Cards pack each time instead of your own ideas.
  8. Choose one of the People Cards and one of the Things Cards and make them into a question. You get one point for each time your partner says “Yes, she has” or “Yes, he has”.
