Two activities involving identifying correct and incorrect use of colons. Pupils must look carefully at the sentences to check if the colons have been put in the correct place for a variety of sentences.
There are two activities provided:
Colon Cards/Quiz: pupils sort the cards into correct and incorrect piles. Great for paired or small group work. Large and small cards are provided, plus a presentation to use to go through the answers or to use as a whole class quiz.
Colon Worksheet: pupils identify whether the colons are correctly punctuating the sentences, and then make any necessary corrections; identify different types of colon usage; add missing colons to sentences and write sentences using colons. Great as an independent task. This worksheet uses different examples to the cards/quiz.
Different ways of using colons are demonstrated, including:
• Using a colon to introduce a list
• Using a colon to separate related main clauses where the second clause explains the first clause
• Using a colon to emphasise a word or phrase
Answers to all tasks are included.
All documents available as easily editable Word or Powerpoint documents and as PDFs.
These activities are particularly suitable for years 5 or 6.
