I bet you’re sitting on your (furniture) now reading (piece of writing). You look at your (noun) and see that the sky is (adjective). “(exclamation),” you think to yourself, “I’ve forgotten to (household chore verb) the laundry.” But you don’t care because you have more important things to do, like read (subject of this email).

In continuation with the Distraction December Tech Tips, this week I want to (re)introduce you do the wonders of mad libs. Not only are they a great way to keep yourself distracted, but their also a great way to teach your students about the parts of speech. But where, you ask, will you get an endless supply of mad libs? The internet of course.

Here are my favorite sites for doing mad libs:

• http://www.madglibs.com (also has Hangman and Cipher games)
• http://www.eduplace.com/tales/
• http://www.itsamadlibsworld.com/
• http://www.wordlibs.com/

If you have any mad lib or word game websites you like, I’d love to hear about them so I can add them to my list.
