What are "mad libs"?
"Mad libs" are fun ways to learn the parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and so on). We have our own mad lib serial that we call "EdVentures", but you can create a serial or individual script of your own. EdVentures are silly stories about the adventures of Ed Serenson, who
is the fictional owner of this website. You can also create your own
EdVenture for the rest of the world to use. Or you can write a completely different script. It's up to you!
Where can I see some examples?
Visit our Hall of Fame to read some examples of the mad libs other users have created. These stories were created by our Mad Lib Generator.
How do I write a mad lib?
You write a mad lib by choosing the words to complete each story. You can write a mad lib in several ways:
Option 1: use our Mad Lib Generator
- Go to our Mad Lib Generator. Choose a pre-built script under "Select a Script". Fill-in the blanks. For example, if you see a blank titled "Noun", then type in a noun. When you've filled-in all the blanks, press "Reveal" to read your mad lib.
- You can even create your very own script for the rest of the world to see! Go to our Mad Lib Generator. Click "Create a script". Write your script, leaving the reader to fill-in the parts of speech you have left for them. For example, type "Once upon a time, there was a {NOUN}" (to insert a blank noun, choose "Noun" from the list of options). Your reader will now be asked to supply the noun to create a mad lib they can print and share. (You must join or login to create your own script but anyone can fill-in an existing script.)
