• TO PLAY
The READER asks each WRITER in turn to call out a word—an adjective or
a noun or whatever the space calls for—and uses them to fill in the blank
spaces in the story. The result is a MAD LIBS® game.
When the READER then reads the completed MAD LIBS® game to the other
players, they will discover that they have written a story that is fantastic,
screamingly funny, shocking, silly, crazy, or just plain dumb—depending
upon which words each WRITER called out.
In case you have forgotten what adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and
verbs are, here is a quick review:
A VERB is an action word. Run, pitch, jump, and swim are verbs.
Put the verbs in past tense if the directions say PAST TENSE. Ran,
pitched, jumped, and swam are verbs in the past tense.
When we ask for a PLURAL, it means more than one. For example,
cat pluralized is cats.
MAD LIBS® is fun to play with friends, but you can also
play it by yourself! To begin with, DO NOT look at the
story on the page below. Fill in the blanks on this page
with the words called for. Then, using the words you
have selected, fill in the blank spaces in the story.
Now you've created your own hilarious MAD LIBS® game!
