mad libs

Mad Libs is a phrasal template word game where one player prompts another for a list of words to substitute for blanks in a story. The game is frequently played as a party game or as a pastime.

Find a small text and cut out some words.

   exclamation            adverb
______ and drove off with his __________ wife."
noun                          adjective


After that ask students to fill in the gaps with random words to make a funny story.

cat and drove off with his brave wife."
