Learning how to use commas correctly does not have to be boring! These motivating worksheets will make kids laugh while they learn how to punctuate properly. The worksheets give rules and opportunities for practice using funny sentences that will keep kids interested.
This bundle includes 18 pages that are broken into six mini-units of three pages each. Each mini unit focuses on a different rule and includes two practice worksheets and a short, multiple choice, bubble-style quiz. The last unit is a mix of all the rules learned. There is also a unit on proper use of end marks.
Rules covered are:
-Commas and words or phrases in series
-Commas with consecutive adjectives
-Commas before small conjunctions
-Commas after an introductory word or phrase
-Commas and dates
-Commas and places
-Punctuation for the ends of sentences
This bundle will work for you if you are okay with a light-hearted and humorous approach. If you are more on the conservative side, these are probably not for you.
This product has been updated to include both PDF and Word formats. Zipped files should open automatically when you download them. If for some reason they don't, just email me at rachellynette@gmail.com and I will be happy to email you the documents directly.

Funny sentences. They are a little bit easy for my sixth graders, but still useful for quizzes and those that need the extra help.

I like the diversity in the worksheets. It gives students a chance to understand the concept and show their knowledge in different ways. Can't wait to use it!

great worksheets! The sentences are original and funny. There was an example without a comma, but that's just being fussy.

There are a few instances where the comma usage does not agree with the rules from our book, but my students thoroughly ENJOYED doing these exercises, just because the sentences were so entertaining. Please write more SOON!

In my opinion, this packet is too basic and the language is too simple for 7th, 8th, and 9th grade (maybe even 6th). However, it saved me time by providing creative & funny sentences which I could copy and paste for a quiz, rather than making up my own, which was useful.

Sorry to hear that. I've never received a rating this low before. I will consider revising the age bracket. However, in my defense, the free preview clearly shows the level of language for the packet.

My passion is creating high quality, ready-to-use teaching resources. I believe our future depends on our children being able to think creatively and critically, so I incorporate higher level thinking skills into almost everything I create.
Most of my experience is in gifted education grades 1-4. But I have also taught regular education to all elementary grade levels. I've taught workshops on writing and have had extensive experience teaching elementary science as well as technology.
I have also written a series of 6 creative and critical thinking books for Evan-Moor as well as several other books of teacher materials.
In addition, I am a published author of over 100 nonfiction books for children on a variety of subjects.
You can see the books I've written here:

I am also the author of several blogs:
Minds in Bloom
(FacilitatingCreative and Critical Thinking Skills)
SoS on TpT
(Tips and Strategies for selling successfully on TpT)
"Quotes" for Teachers
(An organized collection of quotes to use in your classroom)
I am also an administrator on:
"Tchr2Tchr
(Articles, contests, and Linky Parties from TpT sellers)
And of course there is also Facebook and Twitter
