Quotations and Punctuation Can Be Fun With Interactive Games!

Are you tired of the same old, boring ways that you have your students practise their skills with punctuating dialogue? Are you looking for a way (other than a worksheet) to engage them and provide them with loads of practise? If so, look no further! The Teach Starter team has been hard at work creating new, exciting digital learning activities and interactive games that you can toss into your lesson plans with a single click!

Find Correct Sentences With a Quotation Punctuation Game

This engaging, interactive game guides learners through 24 opportunities to practise their skills in identifying sentences with dialogue that use correct punctuation, including commas, quotation marks, and other punctuation marks.

Each question slide requests that students identify which of the three sentences is punctuated correctly, explicitly surrounding the use of quotation marks. Students may see errors in quotation mark location, comma location in relation to quotation marks, capitalisation errors, and more.

This self-checking activity is designed to help students select correct answers. If students make mistakes, they are reminded to try again and redirected to the missed question.

Download and Play Your Quotation Punctuation Game

This resource is available as an easy-to-use PowerPoint or Google Slides Resource file. To get your copy, click the dropdown arrow on the download button to select your file. From there, feel free to play the game (in slideshow mode) as a whole group or assign it individually in Google Classroom or another LMS.
