The Original #1 Mad Libs
The Original #1 Mad Libs | Roger Price, Leonard Stern
12 posts | 1 to read
The first Mad Libs ever published is now available in an oversized format that makes writing, playing, and sharing with friends a breeze! It's the same great content that made Mad Libs an instant hit when it originally published in 1974, but with an updated format that kids are sure to love. Illustrations. Consumable.

I tried very hard to not read anything other than the red prompts as to have something more accurately like madlibs, which I love to do with people! Probably my favorite party game, fyi. #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Here's @cathysaid 's #TBR for our #ERMadlibs #ReadingChallenge! Are you playing along with us?

bookwrm526 Do we have to submit the list ahead of time? 8y
EclecticReaders @bookwrm526 You submit the Google form with your choices after you've read all 12 books, so you can change your mind on what to read as much as you like! People are encouraged to post their lists here and on our Goodreads page to help spread the word about the challenge, but your choices aren't set in stone. Hope you'll join us! 😃 8y
bookwrm526 Perfect! I will join you, but I typically let my challenges develop organically for the first half and only start planning when I have to lol 8y

Check out our planning spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10hAF6yWGxm9s3GnIbh6DNAA2EfETlIYoOu5x-R9K... or talk w/ others on our Goodreads page https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18396826 Here's the form once you're done https://goo.gl/forms/emt0BNPu2fXTfo3p2 & tag @eclecticreaders & #ERMadLibs in challenge posts!

readinginthedark Do we use the entire title for our entry or the word that applies? 8y
Merethebookgal @readinginthedark We're doing it with the entire title, we think it'll be funnier that way 😃 8y
readinginthedark @Merethebookgal Sounds good! 😊 8y

sprainedbrain Silly question: do we need to read our books in order, or just whenever between January and June? 8y
Merethebookgal @sprainedbrain Good question! You may read them in any order you wish 😊 8y
sprainedbrain @Merethebookgal Thanks! Also I believe I messed up and filled out the form too early. I am a dork. 😳 8y
Merethebookgal @sprainedbrain lol, no problem! If you end up changing any of the books you read, just fill out the form again after you've finished reading all 12. 8y

shawnmooney A question: for example, in the "adjective" category, should it be only a one word title that is an adjective, or can it be a longer title that includes an adjective? Even if the latter, is the former preferable to make the Mad Libs work better? This question applies to all of the categories. Thanks! (edited) 8y
Ruri_kaichou @shawnmooney It can be a longer title that includes an adjective. There's no one we prefer over the other so go with what you feel. From what I've seen so far there has been a huge variety of titles, from one word titles to lengthier ones. I hope that helped you. 😃 8y
Ruri_kaichou @shawnmooney except for maybe 5 since it specifically states 'singular' noun. 8y

shawnmooney @Ruri_kaichou Thanks! I am looking forward to participating! Does it matter if I change my selected titles as I move through my reading list? I am famous for bailing on books I am not enjoying so the titles I have chosen now might not end up being the ones I read ultimately. Or is it better if I don't add my list to the Google doc until I've finished? (Sorry for my nerdy questions...lol) 8y
Ruri_kaichou @shawnmooney (nerd question away!) Your can change your titles as many titles as you want. This will definitely happen to me. The Google doc (spreadsheet) is there to help you plan so you can make as many changes as you want (or not use it. Up to you.) In June, you will submit your titles through a Google Form which is what we will use to fill in your MadLib. 8y
RealLifeReading How did I not see this earlier! Looks fun! 8y
EclecticReaders @RealLifeReading It should be a lot of fun! Hope you'll play along with us! 8y

The #EclecticReaders created a new #readingchallenge: Book Mad Libs! We wrote a story & your Mad Lib answers are titles of books you read! Here's a planning spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10hAF6yWGxm9s3GnIbh6DNAA2EfETlIYoOu5x-R9K... & once you've read all 12 books fill out the form https://goo.gl/forms/emt0BNPu2fXTfo3p2 Make sure to tag @EclecticReaders & #ERMadlibs in your challenge posts & if you need help with book ideas!

cathysaid Wait...we weren't supposed to submit the form until after we read the books? Was I supposed to enter my choices on the spreadsheet instead? Oops...😳 (edited) 8y
Merethebookgal @cathysaid lol, it's okay! The idea of filling out the form last is that's how we'll know you finished the challenge, so just tag us or something once you've read all 12 of your books. The spreadsheet is just an optional planning tool, so you don't have to use it, but if you end up changing any of your books choices, resubmit your form after you've read all 12 so we have your most up-to-date choices for the Mad Lib. 😃👍 8y
cathysaid @Merethebookgal Thanks for explaining! Looking forward to the fun 👍📚🍾 8y
