I can use colons to explain and add detail (description: detail)
I can use colon sentences in non-fiction writing
Colons can be used for various purposes (before lists, introducing quotes), but this activity focuses on the use of the colon to separate two main clauses. By playing this dice game, children get plenty of opportunities to practise this skill, whilst finding out about some very creepy creatures.
There is also a version of the activity for learners that need a lot of support, and an explanation of what to do with your high attaining writers.
Enjoy!
