This Year 1 Exclamation Marks worksheet set helps children understand when to use an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence. Pupils practise recognising sentences that show strong feeling, surprise or excitement, before choosing whether to add an exclamation mark or a full stop.
The worksheets are differentiated across three levels: Triangles, Circles and Squares. The support level begins with tracing and adding exclamation marks to simple sentences, while the core and challenge levels build towards writing original exclamation sentences and changing simple statements into exclamations.
This resource is ideal for KS1 grammar and punctuation lessons, homework, revision, morning work, intervention groups or extra practice at home. It supports children as they develop confidence with basic sentence punctuation and begin to understand how punctuation can change the feeling of a sentence.
