Mad Libs!

By Elizabeth Walker

Here is Karen's latest display. I love the idea of providing something like this to keep hands and minds active while waiting. Well done Elizabeth - this is a great idea, and beautifully constructed.
Here are Elizabeth's comments:
'We like to have interactive displays for the students to play with in the hallway while they’re waiting for library time. Last year we made a Magnetic Poetry board, which was very popular, but (perhaps not surprisingly) our students (all boys) managed to create some… unsavory… poems, despite our best efforts to exclude words with possible double-entendres. So, this year, we’re hoping that the more structured nature of mad libs will encourage them to have fun and learn about parts of speech… and also keep it clean!'

'During the month of April, we are celebrating National School Library Month. Each time students check out a library book they can enter to play Libraryopoly(our version of Monopoly). As students move around the board and land on author spaces, they answer a question about the books the author has written. Correct entries will be placed in a drawing to win an autographed copy of Diary of W impy Kid: The Third Wheel'.
