Mad Libs. I have recommended this as a great car activity for many years. Recently we found a way to enjoy them even further.
My daughter pulled out the Mad Libs tablet that we used a few months earlier on a previous trip. She began to read some of the stories that we had already completed.
They were HILARIOUS — And much funnier than they were the first time. This was probably due to the fact that the crazy words were a complete surprise this time since we didn’t remember them.
If you aren’t familiar with this classic activity, here’s how it works. You have a work book full of stories. Some of the words have been removed, and in their place, the players call out their ideas to fill in the blanks. Once they blanks are filled in, the story is read out loud, often with hilarious results.
It’s great for learning parts of speech like “noun, adjective or adverb”. There are many books on the topic and for various ages.
It’s a super silly way to fill in the _____________ (plural noun)!
