Do you find yourself wishing you could grasp more natural teaching moments with your child? Do you have a child who resists anything contrived or in workbook form? Do you love unit studies, but have a hard time working in the nitty gritty details of grammar? Are you a Charlotte Mason or Ruth Beechick family who wants to get more out of copywork? Are you an unschooling or eclectic-learning family that wants to introduce small snippets of grammar into normal life? We are two moms who created this website for our own use, but would love to share it with others who are in the same boat. Dig in, explore, and let us know what you think!

Mad Libs

Create your own easy Mad Libs from favorite books.  Make a copy of a page from the book.  Without revealing the story, ask your child to name some nouns.  Replace the nouns in the story with the new nouns and read the story.

Add verbs, adjectives, etc, as you learn those parts of speech.

Advanced: Traditional Mad Libs
Mad Libs
Mad Libs Junior*.
Star Wars Mad Libs
Lego Star Wars Mad Libs.
Create your own online using websites like Wacky Web Tales and Crazy Tales.

*Mad Libs Junior provides word choices for the child; some of the choices may be "potty talk."
