Funny FILL-IN

Beach PatrolBeach Patrol

My friend friend’s name

and I wanted to help save the environment, so we volunteered for a beach

cleanup day. We stocked up on adjective

trash bags and adjective

gloves, and headed

for the shores of the body of water

. You wouldn’t believe some of the junk we found. We picked up

large number aluminum

noun, plural ,

adjective plastic

noun, plural ,

a soggy food

sandwich, a rusty type of transportation

, and even a(n) slimy substance

-

covered National Geographic magazine. Suddenly a(n) adjective

wave past-tense verb

onto the beach and washed up a treasure chest covered with beach item from nature, plural

. My heart started

verb ending in -ing as we pried open the chest with a(n)

noun . There were at least

number

type of metal coins inside! My friend and I yelled, “We’re rich!” and started

verb ending in -ing up and down like

animal, plural . But when I scooped up some of the coins,

they past-tense verb

all over my hands. The coins turned out to be type of candy, plural

wrapped

in colored foil. But we had a great day anyway, because we helped protect the environment.

Ask a friend to give you words to fill in the blanks in this story without showing it to him or her. Then read out loud for a laugh.
