Are you looking for an engaging sorting activity to give students hands-on practice with comma rules?
Students fix sentence cards by adding necessary commas, then sort them under the correct circus tent based on why the comma was used. This fun, circus-themed activity reinforces key punctuation rules: commas used in lists (Lion Tent), commas after a dependent clause (Ringmaster Tent) and commas used to separate adjectives (Clown Tent).
What's included:
3 circus tent header images for hands-on sorting on desks or floor mats
3 sorting templates (Lion Tent, Ringmaster Tent, Clown Tent) for individual recording
32 sentence cards covering lists, dependent clauses and separating adjectives
4 recording sheets for students to write their own sentences for each tent
Black & white versions included
Answer keys provided both with and without the Oxford comma to suit your preferred punctuation style
