I Have, Who Has? - Skip Counting by 2s

This I Have, Who Has? game helps students practise skip counting by twos in a fast-paced, collaborative format. Perfect for whole class, small group, or partner games, this version supports number fluency from 2 to 60.


This pack includes both:

  • A colour version for engaging, visual number cues
  • A black-and-white version for ink-saving or student customisation


Students read the number they have and ask for the next, promoting turn-taking and pattern recognition.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to count in ones, twos, fives and tens, to and from 100.
  • We are learning to count collections to 100 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to explore number sequences by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point.
  • We are learning to use a range of mental and written strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays.
  • We are learning to count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value.
  • We are learning to use a range of mental strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
  • We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
  • We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.

Curriculum alignment

MA1-6NA old Uses a range of mental strategies and concrete materials for multiplication and division MA1-5NA old Uses a range of strategies and informal recording methods for addition and subtraction involving one- and two-digit numbers MA1-4NA old Applies place value, informally, to count, order, read and represent two- and three-digit numbers MA1-3WM old Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained MA1-2WM old Uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems MA1-1WM old Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols MA1-FG-01 new Uses the structure of equal groups to solve multiplication problems, and shares or groups to solve division problems MA1-CSQ-01 new Uses number bonds and the relationship between addition and subtraction to solve problems involving partitioning
VCMNA103 Investigate number sequences, initially those increasing and decreasing by twos, threes, fives and ten from any starting point, then moving to other sequences VCMNA107 Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies VCMNA108 Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays VCMNA111 Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value VCMNA114 Apply repetition in arithmetic operations, including multiplication as repeated addition and division as repeated subtraction VCMNA088 Count collections to 100 by partitioning numbers using place value VCMNA086 Develop confidence with number sequences to and from 100 by ones from any starting point. Skip count by twos, fives and tens starting from zero

Australian Curriculum covers QLD / SA / WA / NT / TAS / ACT.

Differentiation

Modifications

  • Use numbers 2–30 only for beginner groups
  • Laminate for classroom reusability
  • Combine with a skip counting number line for support

Extensions

  • Have students write the entire 2s sequence after playing
  • Introduce skip counting backward as a follow-up
  • Create student-designed versions with different sequences
