Mad Libs....Cheap entertainment!

Anyone remember these?
I loved this little word game when I was growing up. Our family has recently rediscovered Mad Libs  and we are enjoying the silliness of some of the stories.


This year, we also discovered a junior edition of Mad Libs.
It is great for young readers.
It gives examples of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and misc. You can use one of the examples or you can come up with your own. It is also a little bigger, giving them more room to write. This is great for my first grader. It gives him practice with reading and writing....and an intro to the different parts of speech.

And get this....AC Moore sells Mad Libs for $3.99. And you can use your 40% off coupon! Now that is some cheap entertainment!

Happy Friday!
Enjoy your weekend!

    My boys LOVE these! They discovered them in the kids meals at Wendy's awhile back...so they have become favs at our house as well!

    I think I somehow managed to not play this game during my entire childhood. How exactly that happened, I have no idea!!! Hi there, I'm visiting from New Friend Friday. I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

    I was just talking about Mad Libs the other day! I wondered if they still made them because I wish my kids could do them too. Thanks for link!

    I LOVED those when I was younger. I had no idea they were still around. I might have to pick some up for when my little guy gets older. How fun!

    What a great summer idea! I loved these when I was growing up. I had no idea they had a junior version. I love learning things from all my blogger friends!

    Have a good one!

    Hi Jen - We recently rediscovered Mad Libs too! Last summer I bought one for my brother (He's 9) and he, my sister, and I had so much fun with it. Out local book store has a huge selection.
    Have a great weekend!

    We used to love Mad Libs as kids. We would always make sure the word "smelly" got in there somehow just because we knew it would make us laugh. lol Thanks so much for linking up. :)
