# Learner Challenge 2

**If you’ve never tried mad libs before, now is your time! To begin, make a list of the following words:**

1. Adjective&#x20;
2. Adjective&#x20;
3. Noun&#x20;
4. Noun&#x20;
5. Plural noun&#x20;
6. Game&#x20;
7. Plural noun&#x20;
8. Verb ending in “ING”&#x20;
9. Verb ending in “ING”&#x20;
10. Plural noun&#x20;
11. Verb ending in “ING”&#x20;
12. Noun&#x20;
13. Plant&#x20;
14. Part of the body&#x20;
15. Place&#x20;
16. Verb ending in “ING”&#x20;
17. Adjective&#x20;
18. Number&#x20;
19. Plural noun&#x20;

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>&#x20;

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!). &#x20;

If you choose to look for more online Mad Libs, please have an adult OK the site for you.&#x20;

### Your task: &#x20;

1. Write a short story or a paragraph.&#x20;
2. &#x20;Remove some of the words and replace them with variables like “noun”, “verb” or “name”.  &#x20;
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. &#x20;

Tip: Don’t tell your helper what the story is about, just ask for “noun” or “verb” etc. It’ll be much funnier.&#x20;

1. Read the result out loud.&#x20;
2. Repeat with a different friend or family member to assign different values to the variables!&#x20;

#### Reflect:&#x20;

* What do you need to create an interesting story?&#x20;
* How might you express yourself in writing and in coding?&#x20;
* Did you have to change some of the words slightly to make them work? Why?&#x20;
