We are designing our own grammar word games, based on Mad Libs. Being the cheap thrifty individuals we are, creating them ourselves seems so much more pleasing, and is probably more educational.

Here’s our first one:
The Cat Came Back Ad Libitum

We print out a copy and fold it along the center line. The children fill in the blanks, choosing verbs, nouns, and so on, as directed. Then they open up the page and read the silly story out loud. If you are ecologically minded, or cheap thrifty, like us, you can place the folded sheet in a page protector and have the children write their choices on a scrap piece of paper, thereby saving paper and pennies.

PS: Due to copyright infringement we have called our word games Ad Libitums which is Latin for “as you wish.”
