Mad Libs and Fill-in-the-Blank Stories

Mad Libs and fill-in-the-blank stories are simple, reusable games that work beautifully in classrooms, car trips and quiet corners of a party. This hub collects all of my printable Mad Libs in one place so you can choose themes that match your season or event.

These games help kids practise parts of speech without feeling like schoolwork. They also make brilliant icebreakers, because reading the finished stories out loud usually ends in giggles. You can reuse the same sheets with different word choices and get a new story every time.

If you are new to Mad Libs, start with a birthday or classroom version. Once children understand how nouns, verbs and adjectives slot into the sentences, you can move on to seasonal versions like Christmas, Halloween or summer adventures.

Below is the full collection of Mad Libs so you can quickly find the right theme for your group.
