  • Mad Libs- The Struggle of a Student Storyteller

    MadLibs is a classic word game that students love. This literary elements-themed printable MadLib will help students review parts of speech (adjectives and different types of nouns) and parts of a story, like setting, conflict, protagonist, antagonist, and symbolism.

    How it works: Print out the document and fold it in half, so only the top part is visible. Students fill in the words without knowing where they will go in the story. When they finish, they unfold the paper and fill in the words, resulting in a funny story.

    This activity can be used to review literary elements, adjectives, and nouns with upper elementary and middle school students.
