¿Yo Tengo… Quién Tiene? Classroom Game

Tomorrow we are back at school, ready or not! What a busy week. I am really excited about the year, though, and feel much better prepared this go around. I will try to get a post together detailing my first-day ideas, but I wanted to go ahead a share a first-week freebie. I often start off the year by teaching or reviewing classroom objects so that we can be speaking in Spanish right away.

I have a free set you can make a copy of! The best part is that it’s editable. Household objects vocabulary can vary so much between regions that you’ll probably want to edit a little, to make sure the terms are exactly what you need.

You could also replace the phrase “¿Quién tiene…?” with “Yo necesito…”.

¿Yo Tengo… Quién Tiene? for Classroom Objects

To play:

¿Yo Tengo, Quién Tiene? (Groups of 23 or less)

Print, cut out,and laminate the cards. Pass out the cards to students. Any student you choose may begin. The student reads his or her card aloud, naming the object in the picture. The student who has the card asked for by the first student goes next. Simple, but effective!

I have a Classroom Object games packet available at on my store as well if you are interested in more first-week resources!

Here are the terms I used to make the Yo Tengo, Quién Tiene game:

el lápiz	the pencil
la mochila	the backpack
la cinta	the tape
las tijeras	the scissors
el pegamento	the glue
el bolígrafo	the pen
el libro	the book
