If you're looking for a fun hands-on and collaborative way to teach sentence structures, comma rules, punctuation rules, and grammar, this is the perfect growing resource bundle for you. Each of the included resources are kinesthetic and collaborative in nature to get students up and out of their seats. Most activities include worksheets and a SCOOT activity. All of the activities are good for whole class grammar practice, small group reteaching, ELD instruction, and independent work.

Topics included in the bundle:

• Direct Address (NEW!)
• Commas in a Series (NEW!)
• Compound Sentences
• Complex Sentences
• Appositives
• Introductory Elements
• Tag Questions
• Punctuating Dialogue
• 7 Comma Rules

As a fifth grade teacher, I found my students got really excited whenever I pulled one of these activities out. During the class debrief and sharing portion of the activities, I required my students to say the sentence they build out loud, including the punctuation marks. For example: "After school comma I have to go to soccer practice period." This helped reinforce the punctuation rules. The debrief also gave me a chance to clarify any misconceptions and fix mistakes, which helped every student. To extend the activity, we always turned to a book we were reading to find the comma rule or sentence structure "in the wild".
