    In my English grammar book, have a rest is only one correct answer.

    I don't know why... I always hear that take a rest for example,

    Please take a rest after hard working through the day.

    The LDOCE has both, at 'rest' as a noun:

  • have/take a rest
    You look exhausted! Why don't you take a rest?
    We stopped for a well-earned rest (=one that we deserved because we had been working hard).
