This medium worksheet pushes third graders past simple recall and asks them to choose end punctuation themselves. In Part A, students supply the correct mark for nine sentences, deciding that "The park closes at sunset" needs a period, "Have you ever been to the zoo" takes a question mark, and "That was the funniest joke ever" calls for an exclamation point.

Part B is a matching activity that pairs sentences like "Hang up your coat" with imperative and "Dolphins are very smart animals" with declarative. The mix of punctuating and labeling builds the flexible thinking strong third-grade writers need.
