Year 6 Colons and Semi-colons Game

Teacher Specific Information

This Year 6 Colons and Semi-colons Game is designed to check pupils’ ability to understand and use colons and semi-colons to punctuate lists. Pupils will determine whether they agree with the statement, select the lists that have been punctuated correctly, drag the tick to show where semi-colons should be placed, identify the sentences that have been punctuated incorrectly with semi-colons, and decide whether a sentence has been punctuated correctly.
