Sports Star Mad Libs Junior: World's Greatest Word Game

░░░░░GOOD FOR KIDS WHO CAN'T READ YET░░░░░(Not to be confused with kids who attend the Derek Zoolander School For Kids Who Can't Read Good)❖ I won't explain what Mad Libs are in general, assuming that you haven't lived under a rock for the last half a century. But these Mad Libs are great for little kids that don't know how to read yet. Instead of having the type of word needed under the blank lines like (noun), (adverb), (verb) etc...it does the whole thing with symbols. So it will have a star where it needs nouns, an arrow where is needs verbs, etc. Then there is a list above the MadLib of nouns under a star icon and verbs under an arrow icon so the kid can just randomly pick words without even reading them. (Obviously they will need someone who can read to read the MadLib back)❖ The sports theme is great. It's a very wide variety of sports and things that are almost sports. So it's not just a book of baseball and football themes.❖ Even if the kid can't read the words, they are working with the words. And that's healthy development of reading skills. You can even have them copy the words from the provided lists into the blank spots. Again, even if they don't know what the words are, they can copy the letters. This helps with writing skills. And since they are categorized, the MadLib will work properly even by random selection. (By that I mean they will be silly and fun)❖ As for the enjoyment factor...it's Mad Libs. Come on! Who can't have fun with Mad Libs?

I bought this as a fun activity to do with my 5 year old, but to my surprise he loved it so much he started doing them on his own! He can do these completely independently, and then I read them with him afterwards. He has made massive improvements in his letters and handwriting, as well as his reading since buying these. The design is absolutely perfect and it makes learning a blast. I immediately came back to buy more Mad Libs Junior books!

Our 5 year old cracks up with this. We like that it has suggestions so we don't get stuck on the same word. Definitely ordering others later.

The Sports Star Mad Libs Junior is a much larger (in size and print) version of the standard Mad Libs. I didn't read the description carefully when I ordered it...this is for younger kids that don't understand the different parts of speech. It provides lists that they can use and they match a symbol to that list and select a word that works in that spot. It is well done for the younger kids, but my son is 11, so it didn't really work well for him. I will keep it for a gift for my nephew. All is well!

My grandson loves it

My students love Mad Libs Jr. They are a fun and engaging way to review the Parts of Speech!

As a mom and a school counselor I look for kid activities with meaning....but are fun and will hold the interest of my kids. These will do this. Also great for road trips or plane rides as well. Good family fun!

So much fun for kids and parents ! Received this as a gift and my son laughs so hard every time we take it it.

Such fun. Kids love them.

For grandchildren who have used them at school also. They think they are hilarious! This covers ALL of the Mad Libs I bought for family.

The kids loved them

shipped fast and they are fun
