how to play the punctuation game

You are given a text or a number of different sentences, from which all the punctuation (as well as Capital (UPPER CASE) letters) has been removed. You have to insert the punctuation and change lower-case letters to upper-case where required.

Items of punctuation included in the activities include apostrophes, commas, full stops, exclamation marks and quotation marks.
