We are starting quotation marks this week. Does anyone have any fun ways that help students learn quotation marks? TIA!

After you teach the basics, have the kids have a conversation with each other, write it on notebook paper, and then have it proofread to make sure the quotes are in the correct places. Then have the kids make a poster of the conversation using macaroni for the quotes and commas. My kids LOVE this activity.

I have sentences prewritten, using the kids' names, on big cards. The students get to put macaroni noodles on the cards for the quotation marks. I use this for commas, too. I use it during the introduction lesson, and then later for independent practice and they get to glue them on, then. They love it!

I was going to suggest the macaroni idea. They love it!!! I teach third and they still love it!

Thank you so much for your responses! I never would have thought to use macaroni noodles to help teach the concept!! Thanks again!!

What size font do you use when typing up sentences to fit the macaroni?
