Mad Libs

Use your mental time machine to travel back to second grade. Indulge in the simple pleasures: Pig Latin, Silly Putty, Slinkies; and, oh yes, Mad Libs. This childhood favorite has made it's way to the app world.
This app is a win/win for students and teachers. Kids practice categorizing, parts of speech, and grammar skills. The silly story elicits smiles and giggles. Mixing fun, technology, and language arts practice creates a great recipe for learning. Great as a warm-up, cooperative learning activity, or review. Use this in your writing center and encourage students to create their own Mad Lib stories.
A sample version is available free from Penguin Group USA. Resolve to have more fun while learning in 2011!
