I uploaded these in a Facebook group earlier today and they were very popular! I was bombarded with emails from people requesting a copy of this resource.
I used a blank police badge shield I found using Google to create this and edited it to make it into a Punctuation Police badge. I have made mine to feature the three main punctuation focus' for Y1 and have included a small seahorse as that is the name of my new class. Click the link to visit the Facebook group page for KS1/Y1 teachers where I uploaded pictures of this resource and you can also download the word document I used from there so you can use or edit the badge for use yourself.
I backed mine on dark blue card, laminated them and attached them to blue cord.
I use them as a sort of reward for children who have done well with finger spaces/capitals/full stops in a previous lesson. At the end of the lesson they wear them and get to go round and give a small sticker to children in the class who have remembered to use finger spaces/capitals/full stops (depending on which punctuation police badge they have). They love being able to reward other children in the class. I tend to just do this after a class piece of writing once a week maybe, but you can also do it during group work, etc. It can be tailored to what works best in your class really.
Enjoy :)
