Here is the ultimate SPaG/punctuation quiz! Let's face it, teaching SPaG can be dry, this quiz is just one way of making it a little more fun and adding a competitive element to it too.
* Rounds comprise of either 5 or 10 questions
* A single round can be completed as a starter, or the whole quiz can take at least a lesson
* Answers are provided at the end of each round and can be peer assessed
* Students must get all aspects of the question right to gain marks for that particular question (for example, all commas must be in the correct place on a comma question to gain a single mark). However, the test can be made easier by giving a mark for each punctuation mark in the correct place.
* If you wish, you can use this as a baseline assessment and revisit the test again to check progress at the end of a SPaG or writing unit.
Rounds as follows:
Round 1 – Brackets (out of 10)
Round 2 – ? ! or . (out of 10)
Round 3 – Speech marks (out of 5)
Round 4 – Semicolons (out of 5)
Round 5 – Colons (out of 5)
Round 6 – Commas (out of 10)
Round 7 – Mixed 1 (out of 5)
Round 8 – Mixed 2 (out of 5
Round 9 – Mixed 3 (out of 5)
The quiz is reasonably challenging, and is therefore geared more towards KS3 and GCSE English level. However, it could also work with really bright KS2 students. Ideal activity as a standalone lesson or as part of a programme of GCSE revision for the new 9-1 Language spec, which places huge emphasis on this aspect of writing. I guess it would also make an ideal whole school literacy drive resource during tutor time!
Ready to roll, Enjoy!

What a great resource. Going to use it to get a Spag baseline for my new Yr10 English class. Will really help me to decide which skills need the most attention. Then will use at the end of the Spag unit to assess progress. Many thanks saved me lots of time.
