Mad Libs Word Choice Workshop for Kids
A Mad Libs story can change when you swap one word for another of the same kind. This blank workshop lets you try two choices for a noun, verb and adjective, then read both versions aloud. It is not a published story or its answer key.
One original sentence, two moods
First: The curious robot rolls past the station. Swap the adjective curious for sleepy, the noun robot for otter, and the verb rolls for glides. Now read: The sleepy otter glides past the station.The three jobs stay the same even though the picture in your head changes. These are made-up examples, not lines from any story on this site.
A noun names someone or something, a verb says what it does, and an adjective describes it. If you swap a verb for a noun, the sentence may no longer work.
Try your own swaps
Pick a short sentence, or ask a friend for three words. Keep each word's job when you replace it.
| Kind of word | First choice | Swap-in choice |
|---|---|---|
| Noun(a person, place or thing) | ||
| Verb(an action) | ||
| Adjective(a describing word) |
Read both versions
Write a sentence using the first choices, then rewrite it with your swap-in choices.
Version 1:
Version 2:
Which is funnier? Tell a friend why, or try a third set of words on the back.
