September 24: National Punctutation Day

September 24th is National Punctuation Day, perfect time of the year when school is in session long enough to review punctuation along with grammar, spelling, and few areas here and there within language arts.

- Punctuation Paintball
- Grammar Blast

And some activities to do in class:
- Punctuation Games (PDF file) recommended for High School

Here are some fun posters you can order for class (maybe more for the secondary education level):
