You know you remember Mad Libs from elementary school. You and your friends would take turns inserting words like “butt” and “burp” into the appropriate noun/verb/etc. fields and then you’d have a good laugh at the resulting story. After all this time they are still around and seem to be as popular as ever. Not to mention, Mad Libs are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year! There seems to be a book catering to every trend and hobby: the election year friendly Mad Libs for President, Napoleon Dynamite movie tie-in Mad Libs, Pirate Mad Libs and even the sure to be controversial Zoey 101 Mad Libs.
Mad Libs have always been teacher approved for their ability to get kids pondering the usage of the different parts of speech, along with the ultimate payoff of allowing kids to read aloud their funny story to their classmates. But did you know that you and I, as adults, can also reap the benefits of playing with Mad Libs? Think about it: Mad Libs can enhance our grammar skills, improve concentration and aid as a warm up for our other writing projects.
There are also a whole slew of Mad Libs catering to adults with such fun titles as Dysfunctional Family Therapy Mad Libs, Who Moved My Cubicle Mad Libs and Bachorelette Bash Mad Libs.
Visit bookcloseouts to buy super cheap Mad Libs editions and keep them handy when you need to exercise your brain but you still want to have some fun. I’m picking myself up a copy of the Party Girl Mad Libs
