Six worksheets aimed at learning how to use colons in writing.

The worksheets cover a range of difficulty levels.

They demonstrate colons being used in three ways:
• To introduce items in a list
• To separate two main clauses when the second explains the first
• To emphasise a word or phrase at the end of a sentence

The worksheets can be completed independently or in pairs.

Answers to all tasks are included.

All documents are provided as easily editable Word documents and as PDFs.

These activities are particularly suitable for years 5 and 6 (UKS2).
