Great fun! Also a fun way to learn about the parts of a sentence

My daughter asked for a Mad Lib book, so I chose this one... she loves it & has given my kids hours of hilarious entertainment! They read their favorites over & over. This is such a fun thing for road trips as well! Bonus: kids will be learning parts of speech & not even realize it!

THESE ARE SO FUN!

Used to love doing these in school 30 years ago and now my son is going to love them just as much. They are just as it remember and it's a great way to teach your kids without them even knowing it.

For those of you who don't know what Mad Libs are, you are given a list of word parts (adjective, noun, verb, plural noun, etc.) that you fill in with your own submissions and then a paragraph on the next page has a bunch of words blanked out which you then add back in your words from the previous page, respectively, and read the new silly version. We had so much fun doing these Mad Libs while on a long car ride (consecutive days of 10 hrs+). My husband and I have a 7, 5, and 2 1/2 yr old and I was so pleased that they were all able to participate! Obviously it took some coaching for all of them but by our return trip home, even the youngest was yelling out words like "crusty" and "dinosaur!" Her responses didn't always fit what we asked but it was great that she felt included. It proved to be a good teaching opportunity for my soon to be Kindergartener about word parts. I would call out the words I needed and dictate submissions then read aloud and all parties were giggling and laughing. My husband and I got a big kick out of some more than our kids just because they didn't get the additional connotations implied by certain words used. I like to write mine in pencil so we can go back and redo them another time. I loved Mad Libs as a kid and they were still super fun, but I took off a star for this particular book because there were a few pages with editing errors. There were word parts asked for but then never included in the story and word parts in the story never asked for in the word section. There were at least 2 pages like this, maybe 3. This is really unacceptable for a book that has been punlisted since 1993. It's not like this is the first copy off the presses; you'd think between 1993 and now SOMEBODY else would have pointed out their errors. Still, a great buy for unique, clean, family fun, especially in the car.

I did these for fun as a kid and I decided to buy it to encourage my kids to read and write more and to show that it actually can be fun. It worked! We all play together at random, they both take turns wanting to read and write or to pick words. it also helped them to learn what verbs, adverbs, and adjectives are long before learning it in school. I will always recommend madlibs!

Learning and fun for kids who likes silliness.

Prove to be a nice alternative to that iPad kids had fun with it and it was as creative as I remember it being back in the day. It also helps work on grammar and parts of speech while they’re having fun. maybe more than anything to point out, it is clean, cut and free of all that nasty garbage. Everything seems to have these days (Unless you fill in those words).

Bought for stocking stuffer. I remember doing these in school with a supply teacher. I think my 11yr old would have a chuckle.

Great fun to play with family

A fun gift idea for younger people. The paper is especially nice, as it’s good to use with pencil. Easy to erase mistakes.

Terrific to partner with your child or grandchild. Interdisciplinary, on many levels; word recognition, reading, comprehension, abstract thought, (joke telling), communication. ❤️❤️❤️

fun to do, as a group, or a pair - camping, road trips or almost anywhere and great for the kids to learn proper engish uses of adverbs, adjectives, etc.
