Look closely at the front cover of this Mad Libs book.
It’s the “NEW” party game circa 1958.

My sons received this last Christmas
(Thank you Cousin Kristin!)
and the fun has lasted all year long.

For those of you unfamiliar with these classic word games,
it goes a little something like this:
Players generate a list of prompted words …
Part of the body: ankle
Adjective: purple
Adjective: scratchy
Noun: chair
These words are then entered into a prewritten story …
Beauty Advice: If the skin on your ankle is purple and scratchy, massage it gently with a chair.

This, of course, is just plain silly – which is perhaps why
my kids love it. I swear my five year old just waits for
the prompt of “part of the body” so he can shout
intestines at the top of his voice. Slimy has also
become his favorite adjective.
Last month's snow day brought a gaggle of neighborhood
kids into the house. They all stripped off coats, hats and mittens and then played Mad Lib for almost an hour.
Laughter erupted throughout every new round of
hilarious noun/verb/intestine confusion.
New or not: that truly is a do-it-yourself laugh kit!
