A FUN BREAK DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON!, January 22, 2009
This review is from: Christmas Carol Mad Libs: Very Merry Songs & Stories (Paperback)
I have been a big Mad Libs fan since getting my first book in junior high. For the uninformed, Mad Libs is a game book consisting of various stories and songs that have key words left out. One person (the Reader) asks the other players (the Writers) to supply words (i.e., nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), and these words are used to complete the story. The Writers have no idea what the story is about until the Reader reads the finished work - with often hilarious results! Mad Libs can also be played "Solitaire" - where they have a page with just the key words, and the player fills them in without looking at the story below!
Even though "Mad Libs" has been around for 40 years, it still hasn't lost its steam - and it is apparent in this latest collection of Christmas Carols & stories! I took it with me to a party - and it turned out to be a huge success! We were practically rolling on the floor with laughter!
What I really appreciated is that they stuck mainly to the generic Holiday carols (i.e., Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Toyland) but do not "butcher" the religious classics (i.e., Silent Night, Away in a Manger, Joy to the World, etc.). They also include some Christmas-themed stories, including "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Auntie's Crazy Christmas Clothing."
If you want a good group participation game at your next Christmas party, I would highly recommend this book!
