Stop with a Dot! Learning Periods for Kindergarten 

This Kindergarten worksheet introduces early learners to the period (full stop)—one of the most important punctuation marks used to end telling sentences. Children learn that when we make a statement, share information, or tell something simple, we end the sentence with a period. Through fun and simple examples, this worksheet helps young learners identify correct endings and practise placing periods in their own writing. 

The worksheet includes MCQs, True/False checks, fill-in exercises, rewriting practice, and a short passage where children add periods to complete a story. 

Why Learning Periods Matters? 

Understanding periods helps children: 
1. Recognize when a sentence ends. 
2. Read with natural pauses and clear meaning. 
3. Write simple, complete sentences confidently. 
4. Build strong early grammar and reading foundations.

They both hold hands and walk to their classroom, talking about the story they heard yesterday. 
In class, the teacher shows them colourful pictures and reads a new story about a big friendly elephant.
