How to play:
Mad Libs are a fun word game where players provide words to fill in the blanks of a story without knowing the context. To play Mad Libs, start by having one person ask others to give you words without telling them the story.
You’ll ask for different types of words like nouns, verbs, adjectives, or places. Write down the words in the order you ask for them. Once you have all the words, fill in the blanks in the story with the words you collected.
When the story is complete, read it out loud to see the funny and surprising results. The sillier the words, the more fun the story will be! If you are unsure how to play or want some tips on how to make your stories funnier, then check out our Mad Libs guide.
