Mad Libs
- By: katie_slytherin

Ready for a goofy, fun activity? Good, because we are about to play Mad Libs! I've modified it a bit so anyone can participate without having to go through an English grammar lesson (was my worst subject in grade school). So without further ado, let's get started! Below you will see a number followed by a word(s). I suggest you keep a pen and paper nearby or use something online to help you keep track of everything. Okay, for example let's say it says '1-plant'. You would write down the number and then follow it by any plant '1-flower' or '1-tree'. Feel free to be as creative or goofy as you want! Here's another example: '9-an article of clothing' you could put '9-shirt' or '9-sock' and so on. After you finish this, you will find a story with some missing words. The missing words will be clearly marked with the numbers and all you have to do is go back to the list to see what word to fill in.

Example:
1 - orange; 2 - flower; 3 - dog
Her favorite color was __1__. He wanted to grow a __2__. They had a pet __3__.
SO YOU WOULD READ IT AS: Her favorite color was orange. He wanted to grow a flower. They had a pet dog.
GET IT? AWESOME! LET'S PLAY!


1 - season (ex: winter, fall)
2 - feeling/emotion (ex:happy, angry)
3 - verb/action (ex: run, jump)
4 - an object (ex: pillow, apple)
5 - place (ex: park, store)
6 - number (ex: seven, thirty)
7 - object (ex: slippers, books)
8 - object- (ex: watermelon, basketball)

10 - color (ex: yellow, purple)
11 - food (ex: chicken, egg)
12 - flavour (ex: strawberry, chocolate)
13 - drink (ex: milk, orange juice)

Ah yes, __1__, my favorite season! I am so __2__ that it's finally here. One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to __3__ a/an __4__. One of my favorite memories during this season is when I saw a guy at the __5__. He was about __6__ years old and he was about to jump into a pile of __7__. However, before he did, he tripped on a/an __8__ and lost his __9__. It was a very funny scene. One of my favorite treats during this time of year is __10__ __11__ with __12__ __13__. I can't wait to start having fun and making memories!
