MAD LIBS is a game for people who don't like games!It can be played by one, two, three, four, or forty.

RIDICULOUSLY SIMPLE DIRECTIONS

In this tablet you will find stories containing blank spaces where words are

left out. One player, the READER, selects one of these stories. The READERdoes not tell anyone what the story is about. Instead, he/she asks the otherplayers, the WRITERS, to give him/her words. These words are used to fillin the blank spaces in the story.

TO PLAY

The READER asks each WRITER in turn to call out a wordan adjective or

a noun or whatever the space calls forand uses them to fill in the blankspaces in the story. The result is a MAD LIBS game.

When the READER then reads the completed MAD LIBS game to the otherplayers, they will discover that they have written a story that is fantastic,screamingly funny, shocking, silly, crazy, or just plain dumbdependingupon which words each WRITER called out.

In case you have forgotten what adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and

verbs are, here is a quick review:

An ADJECTIVE describes something or somebody. Lumpy, soft,

ugly, messy, and shortare adjectives.

An ADVERB tells how something is done. It modifies a verb and

usually ends in "ly." Modestly, stupidly, greedily, and carefully are

adverbs.

A NOUN is the name of a person, place or thing. Sidewalk,

umbrella, bridle, bathtub, and nose are nouns.

A VERB is an action word. Run, pitch, jump, and swim are verbs.

Put the verbs in past tense if the directions say PAST TENSE. Ran,

pitched, jumped, and swam are verbs in the past tense.

When we ask for a PLACE, we mean any sort of place: a countryor city (Spain, Cleveland) or a room (bathroom, kitchen.)

An EXCLAMATION or SILLY WORD is any sort of funny sound,

gasp, grunt, or outcry, like Wow!, Ouch!, Whomp!, Ick!, and

Gadzooks!

When we ask for specific words, like a NUMBER, a COLOR, anANIMAL, or a PART OF THE BODY, we mean a word that is one

of those things, like seven, blue, horse, or head.

When we ask for a PLURAL, it means more than one. For example,

catpluralized is cats.
