ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 Punctuation for Kids: Period, Exclamation Mark, Question Mark| English Grammar
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about something very important in writing called punctuation marks. These little marks help people understand what we are trying to say when we write.
We have a fun story about a fast car. As we read, let’s look at the punctuation marks at the end of each sentence.
The car is red. The inside is very small.
How fast does it go? Did you see that? Wow! That car goes really fast! That police car is going really fast too. That was a very fast car!
Did you see the punctuation marks at the end of the sentences? Every sentence needs a punctuation mark at the end. We can use a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point.
We use a period at the end of a sentence that tells us something. For example: “The car is red.” This sentence is just telling us about the car, so it ends with a period.
We use a question mark at the end of a sentence that asks something. For example: “How fast does it go?” This sentence is asking a question, so it ends with a question mark.
We use an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence that shows excitement or strong feelings. For example: “Wow! That car goes really fast!” This sentence is exciting, so it ends with an exclamation mark.
Now, let’s practice choosing the right punctuation marks for these sentences:
“It is a very small car.” Which punctuation mark should we use? Yes, a period! This sentence is just telling us something.
“Is the inside red?” Which punctuation mark should we use? That’s right, a question mark! This sentence is asking a question.
“I love fast cars!” Can you hear the excitement? Which punctuation mark should we use? Yes, an exclamation mark! This sentence is full of excitement.
Thanks for learning with us! Now you know how to use punctuation marks at the end of sentences. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a punctuation pro!
Goodbye! Keep exploring and learning new things every day!
Punctuation Hunt: Go on a punctuation hunt around your home or classroom! Look at books, magazines, or signs and find sentences that end with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. Can you find one of each? Draw a picture of what you find and share it with your friends or family.
Sentence Creation Game: With a friend or family member, take turns saying a sentence out loud. The other person has to guess which punctuation mark it should end with: a period, question mark, or exclamation mark. For example, if you say, “Do you like ice cream,” the other person should say, “Question mark!” Try to come up with silly or fun sentences to make it more exciting!
Punctuation Art: Create a piece of art using punctuation marks! Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw a big period, question mark, and exclamation mark on a piece of paper. Decorate each one with colors and patterns. You can even write a sentence next to each one to show how it is used. Display your artwork to remind you of the different punctuation marks.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Welcome to Kids Economy!
Hello, children! In this lesson, we will practice putting punctuation marks at the end of sentences. Punctuation marks are very important; they help other people understand our writing better.
Let’s read a short story about a fast car. While reading, pay attention to the punctuation marks we put at the end of each sentence.
The car is red. The inside is very small.
How fast does it go? Did you see that? Wow! That car goes really fast! That police car is going really fast too. That was a very fast car!
Did you notice which punctuation marks we used at the end of the sentences? All complete sentences must end with a punctuation mark. We can use a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point at the end of a sentence.
We put a period at the end of the first sentence: “The car is red.” Notice how this sentence does not sound like a question, and it does not have much excitement in it. This is why it ends with a period.
“How fast does it go?” This sentence ends with a question mark because it asks a question.
“Wow! That car goes really fast!” This sentence ends with an exclamation mark. Exclamation marks are used when a sentence expresses something very exciting.
Let’s practice choosing the correct punctuation marks at the end of these sentences.
“It is a very small car.” Which punctuation mark should we choose? You’re right! The end of this sentence is missing a period. It is not a question, and it doesn’t show strong feelings.
Let’s look at another sentence: “Is the inside red?” Which punctuation mark should we put? Did you choose a question mark? Well done! This sentence is asking a question.
Listen to this sentence: “I love fast cars!” Can you hear the excitement in the sentence? Which punctuation mark would you choose? Yes! The end of this sentence should have an exclamation mark.
