It's All Fun and Games

Kids learn the best when they are having fun (I'm pretty sure I have said that in every one of my posts). What is more fun than playing games? Nothing? That's right! So, why not find games that are fun and educational? I have found one game that I would have loved as a kid, so I am here to share it with you! The game is a variation of 'Red light, Green light.' However, with this version the kids will be learning about punctuation.
First things first, go over the proper uses of the punctuation marks that you plan on using in this game. The kids will be lined up across the yard (or room) from you in a line. You will then say "Green light, reader!" this is their cue to begin running toward you. When you say "Yellow light, readers!" they all need to look to see which punctuation card you are holding up. When they see the card they have to do what that card represents (Comma means: slow down and WALK. Exclamation point means: Hop and wave your hands. Question mark means: Stop, tilt your head, and put your hands on your hips. Period means: STOP right now!). If they do not do what they are supposed to, they have to go back to the beginning. The first kid to reach you wins.
