Christmas Carol Mad Libs: Very Merry Songs and Stories

My family always had Mad Libs, we played them at parties all the time, in the car on road trips and then didn't read them until we reached our destination that night. They are fun and they stretch your mind to think of unusual nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs. pronouns, etc. so it's especially fun to play with a mix of ages and it helps teach kids of all ages new words to use. Watch their vocabulary grow as they learn and try out new words from playing Mad Libs.

Took this on a vacation with the family and then started using it as a fun way to pass time at the dinner table. Kids would always groan at first and then could not help but laugh later. There are plenty in the book for the money and a good chunk of them are holiday songs you have to sing.Tips:only do one or two at the most in a sitting, by the time you get to a 3rd, everybody is laughed out.Use names of people whenever you can. Most nouns, you can throw in a proper noun like somebody sitting at the table or movie/tv/music star.Use gross sounding kid words: Pus, oozing, mucus, excrement, squirting, bleeding, farting, rabid, disfigured, melting, vomit, groin, booger, ear wax, exploding, choking, rear end,...you get it.

We had a good time around Christmas.Great for family time and most everyone was laughing!

Granddaughter enjoyed this!

I use these in my music classroom after our Christmas concert. It's nice because it helps the kids review parts of speech while having fun with the songs! Plus I have the kids sing them to their classmates so they get that extra performance and singing experience. Super fun for everyone!

I love mad libs with my kids. Learning while having fun? A win all around. It gets all all giggling.

My 10 year old daughter loves mad libs, and this didn't disappoint. She spends countless hours with her buddies making up silly stories, and the fact that it reinforces some english terminology and definitions is great. We challenge the kids to come up with new and unique words each time they play, which keeps them thinking. For instance, we will say that it can't be a word they've used in the last week. Well, of course we don't remember everything they said, but using a little adult confidence and memory we can usually quickly decide if they need to come up with something more unique of if the word passes muster.Good clean fun, that can last for significant time at parties, in the car, on a sleepover, or by themselves, we've always enjoyed these mad libs, and this one has been no exception.

I have been a big Mad Libs fan since getting my first book in junior high. For the uninformed, Mad Libs is a game book consisting of various stories and songs that have key words left out. One person (the Reader) asks the other players (the Writers) to supply words (i.e., nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), and these words are used to complete the story. The Writers have no idea what the story is about until the Reader reads the finished work - with often hilarious results! Mad Libs can also be played "Solitaire" - where they have a page with just the key words, and the player fills them in without looking at the story below!Even though "Mad Libs" has been around for 40 years, it still hasn't lost its steam - and it is apparent in this latest collection of Christmas Carols & stories! I took it with me to a party - and it turned out to be a huge success! We were practically rolling on the floor with laughter!What I really appreciated is that they stuck mainly to the generic Holiday carols (i.e., Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Toyland) but do not "butcher" the religious classics (i.e., Silent Night, Away in a Manger, Joy to the World, etc.). They also include some Christmas-themed stories, including "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Auntie's Crazy Christmas Clothing."If you want a good group participation game at your next Christmas party, I would highly recommend this book!

Fun fun fun.Mad libs never fail to disappoint.Perfect for family frolics.
