Mad Libs is a word game where one player can cue another for a list of words to substitute for blanks in a story; the substituted word can have a humorous effect when the resulting story is then read aloud. This game can provide an engaging ways to teach kids about nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. I t can also be used to reinforce grammar, reading comprehension, sentence construction, and vocabulary skills.
