Holiday Names

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a capitalization exercise specifically targeting the correct writing of holiday names. It lists various holidays in lowercase letters, which are incorrectly presented and require proper capitalization. Students are instructed to rewrite each holiday name correctly on the blank lines provided next to each. The festive graphics at the top of the page add a celebratory element appropriate for the holiday theme of the worksheet.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the rule that the names of holidays should always be capitalized in English. This exercise serves to reinforce the understanding that holidays are proper nouns and, therefore, require capital letters. By correcting the names of these special days, students practice applying capitalization rules to culturally significant and commonly recognized terms. This not only enhances their grammar skills but also aids in the proper acknowledgement of important events and observances in writing.
