Last week, millions of people mourned the passing of Leonard B. Stern. While some may know Stern for being a writer on sitcoms in the 1950's, his invention of Mad Libs has lived across generations. In case you’ve been in a cave for the last 50 or so years, Mad Libs is a game where you provide a word from clues like noun, verb or adjective.
The words are then inserted into a story—that you didn’t see before you provided the words—and read aloud. As you can imagine, the results are often hysterical. One of the best things about Mad Libs is that they are perfect for all ages—even little ones who can’t read. Instead of telling them you need an adjective, you can just say something like, “pick a color” or “name something that is soft. A great time buster for car trips and family time, Mad Libs are still available in different forms in stores and across the Internet today.
