Mad Libs

By Leonard Stern and Roger Price

The idea is simple. Someone asks for a part of speech: a verb, a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. We've included definitions and examples of the parts of speech in case you've forgotten. Players call out their ideas to fill in the blanks and in the end, you have a story reeling from one silly sentence to another until nothing makes sense. That's what you call a Mad Lib(R), the world's greatest word game. Players have been howling with friends or laughing all to themselves for over 35 years!

Here's where the fun begins. Check out The Original Mad Libs(R). Once you hear the laughs this one inspires, you'll probably want to play the rest.

Educational Tool

I bought Mad Libs to reinforce parts of speech when teaching English 101 at Augusta Tech. They loved the fun the activity brought to learning. I now use Mad Libs with my second graders as a fun reward at the end of a good day. Lucy Adams, author of If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny

For Young and Old

This was a blast from the past! I remembered doing these as a child and they are just as entertaining now as an activity for the whole family!

Mad Libs are Awesome!!

Mad Libs are excellent for teaching grammar to students. I am a student in an elementary teacher credential program and I love using Mad Libs to teach literary elements. They are fun, and they are a great way to teach verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc. I own quite a few of these books!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

These aren't only for kids. They are fun anytime...traveling, rainy days, late night entertainment. They take at least 2 people though. One person has the mad lib book, which is full of short stories with missing nouns, verbs, advebs and adjectives. That person asks the other person for the nouns, verbs, etc, writes them in the blanks and then reads the story outloud. My sixth grade teacher used to do this with our class...almost 20 years ago
