My son started learning his parts of speech at just four years old because he wanted to play, too! LauraG, I am a huge fan of teaching with Mad Libs. I started out with 'stinky' 'butt' language, too, but my parents took turns with me in supplying some of the words, so I learned by example that it's worth acquiring more creative vocabulary like 'moist' (a Mad Libs favorite adjective in my household), 'spleen,' 'dyspeptic,' 'stagger' and 'noseflute.' Yep! My parents got me started on Mad Libs at about age 9 as a fun educational game, to teach me parts of speech and grow my vocabulary. I hope I don't have nightmares of a battery acid-encrusted snout!Д®llen from California on October 26, 2012: And the imagery in your version of 'Trees' is disturbingly vivid. First of all, 'moist' is one of those gross words that is always perfect for Mad Libs, but 'noseflute'? That's phenomenal. HAHAHAHA! Greekgeek, that is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the great idea!!!Д«rainy Bunny (author) from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania on October 26, 2012: I shared this on Facebook and voted up and others. Rachel Vega from Massachusetts on October 28, 2012: Thank you, clevercat! Anyone who likes word games should love Mad Libs, and they're really easy and fun to create.

Remember to leave space between the lines for noting the parts of speech, though! It's easily accessible, and the pencil's eraser makes pulling words out to leave blank spaces a snap. If you're simply dashing off a quick game to keep your kids busy in the restaurant while you're waiting for your food, you can't do better than pencil and paper. If funny ideas start to pop into your head, you'll know you've done it right. Reread your text once, saying 'blank' instead of the original words that you erased.For example, body parts, types of liquid, foods, and gendered names are very often specified instead of just asking for a noun. In some cases, you may want to further limit the scope of words allowed.Make a note telling what part of speech fits under each word you erase, in case you forget.

Very short sentences can stay whole, but interjections are ideal to substitute. Choose between one and three words to take out of each long sentence.Once your text is in good shape, you have to decide which words to pull out. interjection: a short word or phrase that expresses emotion (Hey! Oh! WTF?!?).adverb: a word that describes how you do an action (quickly, gracefully, badly).verb: a word that shows an action (run, jump, play).adjective: a word that describes a noun (smelly, green, alive).noun: a person, place, or thing (the President, living room, cup).If you're not sure about the parts of speech, take a moment to review the ones commonly used in Mad Libs. Add a title that reflects the subject of the text you wrote.It can be in one long paragraph, split into several short paragraphs, or even set as a list of bullet points. Keep writing until you have between 100 and 200 words.Don't stress if they're not funny to start with they will be when you play the game later on! (This will make it easier for you to erase words later.) Type the paragraph in a word processing program or handwrite it with pencil.
