Lower the IQ of any social gathering

The entire faculty has gathered at the university president's home. Whip out one of these Mad LIb books and suddenly it looks like a busload of 4th graders. If the people aren't as bright to start with, well, just do the math, if you are capable after prolonged exposure to Mad Libs.

I added the second star because one can often find copies of these used wherein a witty ex-academic or eight year-old has pencilled in vaguely smutty words. Instant folk art. And quiet, too.

I bought Mad Libs to reinforce parts of speech when teaching English 101 at Augusta Tech. They loved the fun the activity brought to learning. I now use Mad Libs with my second graders as a fun reward at the end of a good day.

When you were little you may remember madlibs.The fun game in a book that taught kids verbs,pronouns,nouns and other parts of speach.It also taught them how to use them correctly.It taught adults how to be a kid again and laugh at your very own creations.(Word Wise)

There is lots of fun to go around with you or a friend as there are many pages and many topics.Great for all ages Preferably kids.Madlibs do get somewhat repeditive.Every once in a while seems to do its justice and is better then daily as you'll get burnt out on it.

A must have for kids with a growing vocabulary and for such a cheap price buy this and many other madlibs

This was a blast from the past! I remembered doing these as a child and they are just as entertaining now as an activity for the whole family!

Mad Libs are excellent for teaching grammar to students. I am a student in an elementary teacher credential program and I love using Mad Libs to teach literary elements. They are fun, and they are a great way to teach verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc. I own quite a few of these books!

Forty years young and still a bestselling series (over 100 million sold), Mad Libs has definitely stood the test of time. Now, Price Stern Sloan introduces the Mad Libs desk calendar. This new and original calendar features favorite quotes, cliches, lyrics, recipes, and more. Just fill in the blanks and let the laughs roll.

Fun, Fun, Fun!

These aren't only for kids. They are fun anytime...traveling, rainy days, late night entertainment. They take at least 2 people though. One person has the mad lib book, which is full of short stories with missing nouns, verbs, advebs and adjectives. That person asks the other person for the nouns, verbs, etc, writes them in the blanks and then reads the story outloud. My sixth grade teacher used to do this with our class...almost 20 years ago
