Description

I Have… Who Has? – Tricky Words Game (Pupil Book 1, Digital Download)

Make learning tricky words fun, fast-paced and interactive with this I Have… Who Has? game! This version is specially matched to the tricky words introduced in Jolly Phonics Pupil Book 1 and the Red Jolly Decodable Readers – but it can be used alongside any phonics programme once these tricky words have been taught.

With 16 cards in the deck, this set is perfect for whole-class play in smaller classes, guided reading groups, literacy centres, or even as a fun warm-up before phonics. The simple question-and-answer format keeps every child actively involved, building confidence while they practise those words that can’t be decoded in the usual way.

Tricky words are introduced after all 42 letter sounds have been mastered. They’re “tricky” because some parts can be sounded out but not all – making extra practice essential. This game gives children the repetition they need without it ever feeling like hard work.

What you’ll get:
✅ 16 printable cards (PDF) matched to Pupil Book 1 tricky words
✅ Instant download – print as many times as you need
✅ Works for Reception & KS1 – whole class or small groups
✅ Quick to prep, easy to play, and endlessly reusable

How to play:
Hand out the cards (some children may have more than one). A child begins by reading out their card: “I have ___, who has ___?” The child with the matching tricky word answers, then reads their card in turn. Play continues until all the cards have been read in a complete loop. Children love the challenge of getting faster each round – and you’ll love how much practice they’re getting with tricky words!

Don’t let tricky words hold them back – turn them into not-so-tricky words with this simple, engaging game.
