Frequently asked questions
How do mad libs work?
One person keeps the story hidden and asks for words by type — a noun, an adjective, a place. The other supplies them blind, and then you read the completed story out loud.
Do we need to print anything?
No. Keep the phone turned away from whoever is supplying the words and read the finished story off the screen.
