Punctuation:

Question Mark

Period

Exclamation Point

When you are asking for information you are making a question. A question mark is the mark at the end of a question.

When you are telling information you are making a statement. A period is the mark at the end of a statement.

When you say something with lots of feeling or emotion you have exclaimed. An exclamation point is the mark at the end of a sentence that shows strong feeling.

Guess Who Board Game

Guess Who is a great board game to practice:● Using receptive language skills. - You will need to carefully listen to what

people say.● Using expressive language skills- You will need to answer questions with

statements. ● Identify different types of punctuation: Did you ask a question? Say “I would

use a question mark.” Did you tell information? Say “I would use a period.” Did you get excited and say something with feeling? Say “I would use an exclamation point.”

paper (or you can pre-write all the items down on seperate pieces of paper and the players choose one).
