Mad Libs
Mad Libs is a word game where one player prompts another for a list of
words to substitute for blanks in a story; these word substitutions
are often humorous when the resulting story is read back aloud.
The game is frequently played as a party game. Mad Libs was
invented in the 1950s by Leonard Stern and Roger Price,
who published the first editions themselves.
Mad Libs consist of a book that has a short story on each page
but with many of the key words replaced with blanks.
Beneath each blank is an indicator of the type of word such as noun, verb,
place, or name of a person. One player asks the other players, in turn,
to contribute some word for the specified type for each blank.
Finally, the completed story is read aloud. Since none of the contributors
knows what context their word will be used in, the result is usually
comic, surreal and somewhat nonsensical.
