Mrs. Kingery's 8th grade English class completed a comma escape room game recently. Students had to identify where commas belonged in sentences and paragraphs. Students also matched comma rules to sentences. A secret code was given at each station for students to decipher after working through all four stations. 8th graders had a great time learning about commas and trying to escape the game!
