Types of Sentences Task Cards & Board Game
Punctuation Mark Sort
Students can work with a partner or small group to decide which type of sentence is written on each strip. Then, they'll sort them based on which punctuation mark belongs at the end of each sentence. This can be done by having students glue the strips onto an anchor chart paper or simply sorting them underneath the correct header.

Paperless Ideas to Review the Four Types of Sentences
Here are some other fun ideas to review sentence types that involve zero printables!
Sentence Charades:
Students can work in small groups to plan and act out any scene they'd like without talking. The audience members must provide four sentences to describe the scene.
For example:
Small Group:
Students act out decorating a Christmas tree and drinking hot chocolate.
Audience:
Statement: "I am decorating the Christmas tree"
Command: "Bring me the Christmas lights."
Question: "Where are the ornaments?"
Exclamation: "I just love Christmas!"
Four Sentences, Four Corners:
Place four corners around the room using the signs 'Statement', 'Command', 'Exclamation', 'Question'. Call out random sentences and have students walk to the correct corner to represent the sentence.
Alternate idea: Once students are in the corner, pick on a corner and ask them to give you a sentence about a specific topic.
For Example:
"Question corner, give me an interrogative sentence about Christmas."
