Punctuation and Grammar
I have tried to find some activities that you can print out and do on paper rather than on the computer. One of the fun activities I have found is an Escape Room Challenge. These are often quite difficult to do so if there is anyone else in the house then ask for their help - there are answers too. Maybe you can compete and time how long it takes you to escape.
