Once you have completed your list you can use them to complete the mad lib here: http://www.madlibs.com/content/uploads/2016/04/VacationFun_ML_2009_pg15.pdf

You can either print it out and fill in your words (in order!) or you can read the story aloud while inserting the words from your list (in order!).

If you choose to look for more online Mad Libs, please have an adult OK the site for you.

Your task:

1. Write a short story or a paragraph.

2. Remove some of the words and replace them with variables like “noun”, “verb” or “name”.

3. Ask a friend or family member for the words to help fill in the blanks. In coding, this is called assigning values to the variables.

Tip: Don’t tell your helper what the story is about, just ask for “noun” or “verb” etc. It’ll be much funnier.

1. Read the result out loud.

2. Repeat with a different friend or family member to assign different values to the variables!

Reflect:

• What do you need to create an interesting story?

• How might you express yourself in writing and in coding?

• Did you have to change some of the words slightly to make them work? Why?
