Spring into Silliness

There comes a point in time when your child will not just be learning to read but reading to learn. This week we wanted to focus on sentence structure in a really fun way to help with that transition. We're going to play Mad Libs, a sentence forming game where you make up how the story goes! This activity will include at least two people. Now let's get started with how to play! We have given you a worksheet below that has blank spaces for nouns, adjectives and other missing words. You will print out the worksheet and not show it to your child. You will go to each blank and ask your child to give you a word for that part of speech. Remember, don't read them the sentence because you want it so be a silly surprise when the worksheet is all filled out! Sometimes the sentences won't make sense but that's okay, its part of the game.


Just for a refresher here is the definition of the parts of speech:


Noun- person, place or thing (for example: dog, school, France)


Adjective- describes nouns and pronouns (for example: red, big, bouncy)


Verb- shows actions or state of being (for example: sing, run, gallop)
