Everything You Need to Teach Colons and Semicolons | Free Printable Lessons


After completing the nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, and figures of speech packets I decided to continue in the same format for the punctuation rules we will be reviewing this year.

So I started with colons and semicolons. They’re both pretty concise and condense in their rule sets and they commonly get confused so I figured we’d cover them at the same time and compare their differences.

What’s in the Packet?

So I followed the usual pattern:

  • Definitions, types, and examples
  • Apply Your Knowledge & Extra Practice
  • Answer sheets
  • Writing Prompts
  • Activities
  • Videos

How to Use The Free Printables

I purposely design these packets to include multiple different mix and match options. Choose from each category according to your individual classroom needs. Start with the passage at the beginning, or introduce your topic with a video. Follow up with a writing assignment or activity.
