Off the Wall Mad Libs - Ages 8+
The idea is simple. Someone asks for a part of speech: a verb, a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. We've included definitions and examples of the parts of speech in case you've forgotten. Players call out their ideas to fill in the blanks and in the end, you have a story reeling from one silly sentence to another until nothing makes sense. That's what you call a Mad Lib®, the world's greatest word game. Players have been howling with friends or laughing all to themselves for over 35 years!
Now that you know what Mad Libs® are, you're ready to play Off-The-Wall Mad Libs®. From "Paul Revere" and "Albert Einstein" to "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs" this zany group of Mad Libs ® will make you the hit of the party. Play alone, in a group, or off the wall. Mad Libs are a fun family activity recommended for ages 8 to NUMBER.
