Primer Sight Word I Have… Who Has? Game is an engaging, low-prep reading activity designed to help students practice and master the Dolch Primer sight word list through structured oral reading and active listening.
Using predictable sentence frames like “I have… Who has…”, this game gives students repeated, meaningful exposure to high-frequency sight words. Learners hear, say, and read the same words multiple times, helping them move from decoding to automatic word recognition. This makes it an excellent choice for Pre-K, Kindergarten, early intervention, and ESL/ELL learners.
Why Teachers Love This Sight Word Game
This activity keeps every student involved from start to finish. Because each card connects to the next, students must listen carefully and stay engaged while waiting for their turn. The simple structure builds confidence for emerging readers while reinforcing fluency, attention, and turn-taking skills.
The game works equally well in whole-group instruction, small groups, literacy centers, or as a quick reading warm-up with minimal preparation.
