Harcourt School Publishers website, called Punctuation Campground, is an excellent interactive white board resource.

There are not many online Language sites, dealing with proper punctuation, that can be used effectively on an interactive whiteboard.

Punctuation Campground...

  • does not require any keyboard input,
  • is easy to navigate, and
  • provides great feedback and reference material to help both the learner and the practitioner.


In the activity, a sentence is presented for the learners. They then have to determine what punctuation to add to the sentence to make it correct.

The activity has a hint button that shows where punctuation needs to go but does not tell the student what punctuation is required.

Note: Below the activity are links to a glossary where users can learn when to use the correct punctuation.
