PUNCTUATION SONG

CHORUS:

Pontuação ~ That is Portuguese! Pontuação ~ Punctuation, Punctuation
It helps my words make sense
It helps me when I write, It makes my ideas clear
It helps me when I read, Now I understand you, dear!

COMMA (Aya, Halaa, Mapendo)
Comma, Comma, it’s job is to rest
Resting is what a Comma does best
It looks like a banana and a half moon, too
It’s a part of grammar that can really help you!

PERIOD (Sarmila, Furaha, Ghina)
A period’s shape reminds me of a penny
It’s like funny money
It looks like apple pie with just one eye
A period’s job is to stop with a pop

QUOTATION MARKS (Sara, Bimala, Dalaa)
Quotation Marks are rabbit ears
Quotation Marks are twins
Quotation Marks surround the talking
Quotation Marks are fingers in the air

QUESTION MARK (Suzan, Sham, Bayan)
Question Mark helps my grandma to walk
Question Mark, I use it in my work
It looks like a half moon with a shiny star
Just add a stick to make a Question Mark
It comes on the end of my question
It makes my voice go up
Sometimes a Question can be fun or serious
You might like it, or not!

EXCLAMATION MARK (Sandhya, Andrea, Nor)
Exclamation Mark is loud when you feel proud
It’s exciting like a guest you’re inviting
Exclamation Mark makes anything a surprise party!
We are all Exclamation Mark girls!

CHORUS:

Pontuação ~ That is Portuguese! Pontuação ~ Punctuation, Punctuation
It helps my words make sense
It helps me when I write, It makes my ideas clear
It helps me when I read, Now I understand you, dear!
