These activities sound like fun, I’d have to try them out with my daughter! I also have Steve Newberry’s book ‘Semicolons, Cupcakes and Cucumbers’ (which my daughter loves). I found a fun activity as well, here’s the link in case anyone wants to give it a try: https://westendinschools.org.uk/blog/kung-fu-punctuation

Have a great day, cheers!

The way punctuation skills are introduced in the above text are remarkable. There are a lot of people who are well skilled in this line of education and they can get an online life experience degree to become a professional in the industry.

In reply to Randy Coates. Yes - dictionary games are fun! My students always loved doing races, wacky word finds, and other games. Good ideas!

Melissa, I think games such as Punctuation Hunt for children is an effective way of teaching them while they have fun at the same time. I have noticed that many students do not enjoy using the dictionary and often come to me first, before trying to find a particular spelling or definition on their own. This is not always convenient since teachers can be extremely busy with another child. I have often thought of making up a Dictionary Game (e.g., what word comes after “dog” in the dictionary? On what page can you find “book” in the dictionary?) Of course, the game can be played according to age levels and it can be made into a friendly competition (e.g., split the class into two teams). With practice, children will learn some dictionary skills (Not as easy as they look) and save time by applying these skills on their own.
