Mad Libs on the Road: World's Greatest Word Game

Bought these for our road trip with our grandkids. They loved creating stories and the processed helped them with learning about nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, etc.. It kept everyone in the car entertained for hours while everyone brushed up on their english and grammer skills.

We just returned from a long trip that involved 9 hours on 2 planes each way - and we loaded up on kids entertainment from books and movies on their Kindle, coloring books, puzzle books and this - Mad Libs on the Road! In retrospect I wish I had ditched the puzzle / coloring books and added less movies to the Kindle as Mad Libs was the biggest hit, in the most compact form with an educational component to boot. It also would have made back packs lighter! It's simple, fun and the kids were deep in thought as their tried to come up with various nouns, pronouns, adjunctive words and so on; in order to compete each passage! I loved the fact that this was educational and particularly so for my soon to be First Grader who has not really covered these concepts yet! The whole family got involved and there was often a fit of giggles as the story was read! Its true Old School; gets the kids unplugged from technology for a while and is clearly much loved. As we were at the rather basic airport on the way home another child came up to ask asking if we had purchased it there so he could buy one ...it's great to see kids ask for something other than an iPad . It's also really small and lightweight so you could really load up on these! I intend on purchasing more from the series! My kids asked to play this over and over again; as anything electronic was overlooked! And that for me is priceless!

Great gift for a 9 year old who loves her Mad Libs collection! The younger children, ages 5 and 7, didn't really understand what a noun, adjective, etc was. That didn't stop them from laughing hysterically and learning what they were! Great fun listening to stories being read! Road trip? You will want To pack this! Nice quiet time activity. Great stocking stuffer or little gift To have on hand! Love the price point here at Amazon! At a local store, these books ranged from $4.99 to $9.99

If you like Mad Libs, then you will like this. it is a fun activity for a kid to take to camp, do with a friend when they are over, or in the car. I like it is an activity that takes your child away from screens. Give your child the gift of imagination while learning the proper parts of language. Two thumbs up.

I bought this for my granddaughter who just finished 2nd grade for something to occupy her in the car. So she can read very well, but hasn't been introduced yet to nouns, adverbs, adjectives, etc. She looked at it and wasn't impressed.....looked too much like homework to her. I helped her complete the first sheet of "fill in the words", but she didn't really catch on until she used the words in the story below it.......THEN SHE LAUGHED SO MUCH SHE WAS ROLLING SIDE TO SIDE WITH EVERY WORD INSERTED. She loved it so much that she did 4 more stories on her own. This Mad Libs never made it out to the car, and she has asked to get more!! I'm sure she will be a jump ahead of others in the 3rd grade as she is now getting familiar with sentence structure while she writes each Mad Lib story. This grandma approves!

I ordered this for my grandsons to keep them entertained while traveling. I like that it makes them use their imagination and not be on their screens so much.

Great fun and good time-killer for road trips. As a kid, I remember Mad Libs from family road trips. I decided to order a couple for my kids to try on our last family trip to help entertain them on the drive. I was surprised at how much they liked the Mad Libs. We didn't get through all of the "stories" so we'll hold onto them for the next trip. Well worth the price to entertain the family while secretly making them use their brains.

An oldie but a goodie. My kids (ages 5 & 7) get a real kick out of doing these on our recent road trip. I would pull it out any time they began to squabble as a means of redirection. Even if my son chose not to participate (about 1/3 of the time), my husband, daughter, and I were able to go ahead and have a good time. It was a great means of engaging my extrovert kid while giving my introvert kid a headphones break. Doing an entire series with each person taking turns naming words only took about 5 or so minutes, so they don't eat a ton of time in and of themselves, but were a priceless distraction when pulled out periodically.
