Goofy Mad Libs: World's Greatest Word Game

My 8 year old recently discovered these and I couldn’t be happier. It encourages her to create funny stories and REINFORCES some ELA skills. If you loved these as a kid, you will love them again!

Fun for kids. Lots of laughs. Great for car rides.

These books are so much fun and you can even learn a little grammar while you're having so much fun.

Always fun! Have been giving them instead of birthday cards or popping one in the mail randomly to a friend. It is good to laugh!

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.

Upon seeing MadLibs in the children's books & toys section, I immediately ordered it. My girls loved “authoring” their own stories when young, as soon as I saw that they were still available, I had to get this for my “well read” 1st grader granddaughter.~ Just as in decades past, the laughs are unstoppable! This is a creative and comical means of learning with joy!
