Mad Libs

Mad Libs, a classic creative word game, can be played online.

Currently there are two games to choose from - Mad Libs for President & American Idol.

Users select...

  • adjectives,
  • nouns, and
  • verbs etc., from randomly generated lists.

Note: Users also have an option of typing in their own word choices.

When the Mad Lib has been completed users can print the resulting text.

Mad Libs offer a widget that can be installed in a blog, website, eXe resource etc., allowing visitors to play Mad Libs.

I can see this being used...

  • on an interactive white board where ESOL/EFL/ESL/Key (Functional) Skills etc., learners could collaborate/interact/discuss if selected words are adjectives/nouns/verbs/etc. and/or suggest words of their own.
  • by practitioners to create texts that, because the words 'added' are highlighted in blue, learners could identify each word as an adjectives/nouns/verbs/etc.

Have a play at http://www.madlibs.com/category/funstuff/?g=madlibs.

Or use this embedded widget...
