Punctuation Practice: Two Worksheets and Craftivity in Print and Digital

Here's a fun way for your students to practice editing for missing punctuation. Students edit sentences for missing periods, question marks, commas, apostrophes, exclamation marks, and quotation marks. Then, they use these sentences in their punctuation pockets craftivity! Choose between the print version and the TpT Digital Easel version. The print version can be made into a creative bulletin board or school hallway display.

• WORKSHEETS- Students begin this activity by completing two worksheets that contain 32 sentences. Answer keys are included. Students must determine which punctuation is missing from each sentence. Missing punctuation includes:
  • periods
  • question marks
  • exclamation marks
  • commas
  • apostrophes
  • quotation marks

• CRAFTIVITY- After the worksheets have been completed, students color the pockets and glue them onto a sheet of construction paper. Then, they cut apart the sentence strips from the worksheet and insert each strip into the appropriate pocket.

Student-friendly directions are included so that you can place the directions under your document camera, and students can refer to them as they complete the project.

TPT DIGITAL EASEL VERSION-

This is a paperless version that can be completed on a device. Each slide contains two sentences written on two unique slips of paper. Each sentence is missing one type of punctuation, and students must read the sentence and determine what is missing. Students then drag the slip of paper to the appropriate punctuation pocket. The digital version contains the same 32 sentences that are included in the printable version. It contains 17 slides in all.
