My kids used to love Mad Libs. Not only do they foster learning their adjectives, nouns and verbs, they also teach creativity with their imagination. What I do is ask the kids for a noun, pronoun, etc, BEFORE reading the story, that way it comes out more humorous and unexpected. Hey, with Mad Libs, silly IS fun, and the goofier the answers the more giggles they get! Here's one from teachnology for them to enjoy:
The First Day of School
One very nice morning near the end of summer, my mother woke me up at 4:00 A.M. and said, "Wake up and smell the grass, sleepy head - today is your first day of school and you can't be late." I groaned in my bed for twenty seconds, but eventually, I got dressed. I wore a blue and white striped long sleeve _______________(noun) with a collar on it, a red tie, dark gray pants, white socks, black shoes, and a(n) _______________(adjective) hat. In ten minutes I made lunch and ate my breakfast. _______________(number) hours later, the bus came, and in a few minutes I was already at school. In school, I met two really _______________(adjective) kids. All of us became friends very fast. That day we had science, and luckily my friends and I were at the same _______________(noun) . My friends' names are _______________(proper noun) and _______________(proper noun). At math, we weren't together, and that really bugged me. We learned what _______________(plural noun) were, and when to use them. At snack and recess, we played 'Three - Square' together. It was extremely fun. At P.E., we were ____________("ing" verb) off of the ropes onto _______________(plural noun). I thought it was a very _______________(adjective) idea. In swimming class, we needed to swim extremely _______________(adverb), or else...we would get tortured. Thirty minutes later, school was over. I grabbed all my belongings, and put them into my back-pack. In two minutes, the bus came. Before I went into the bus, I shouted, "Goodbye, adios amigos, sayinara, and shalom," to my friends. Then I went into the bus. In a flash, I was back home. This day was an extremely exciting day!
