Free Team Bonding Game Warmup – MadLibs

A Free Team Bonding Game Warmup – MadLibs

I have always loved Mad Libs. I’m all in on anything that makes me laugh. MadLibs is also a great icebreaker or team bonding warmup to an event.

DIRECTIONS

Give each team the same MadLib(s). I’ve included three below but you can also purchase them via the MadLibs website or Amazon.

One team member is the READER. By team consensus, select the best person for the job. Who will most dramatically read your MadLib to the other teams? The READER does not tell anyone what story is about. Instead, he/she asks the other players, the WRITERS, to give him/her words. These words are used to fill in the blank spaces in the story.

TO PLAY: READER asks each WRITER in turn to call out a word-an adjective or a noun or whatever the space calls for-and uses them to fill in the blank spaces in the story. Your goal as a team is to write a story that is fantastic, funny, silly, or just plain crazy-depending upon which words each WRITER provides.

Each team’s READER will present your team story to the rest of the group. WRITER’s are certainly encouraged to participate should they be inspired to do so.

The facilitator may award the team with the best presentation as he or she sees fit.

If you’ve forgotten what adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and verbs are, here is a quick review:

An ADJECTIVE describes something or somebody. Examples: Lumpy, soft, ugly, messy.
An ADVERB tells how something is done. It modifies a verb and usually is in “ly.” Modestly, stupidly, greedily, and carefully are adverbs.
A NOUN is the name of a person, place, or thing. Sidewalk, umbrella, bridle, bathtub, and nose are nouns.
A VERB is an action word. Run, pitch, jump, and swim are verbs. Put the verbs in past tense if the directions say PAST TENSE. Ran, pitched, jumped, and swam are verbs in the past tense.
A PLACE can be any sort of place: a country or city or a room for example.
An EXCLAMATION or SILLY WORD is any sort of funny sound, gasp, grunt, or outcry, like Wow!, Ouch!, Whomp!, Ick!, and Gadzooks!

Nothing like laughter to break the ice! Try it, you’ll like it!

Idea for Summer Fun: Do-It-Yourself Scavenger Hunts by Haley Productions.

Here’s a creative, time saving summer fun idea: our downloadable scavenger hunts. They are fast and easy to plan and put together.

We have a nice selection of complete outdoor scavenger hunts to choose from, all of which are ready to download as is or can easily be customized – something Julie McGehee of Norman, Oklahoma truly appreciated.

“Being able to customize the hunt by simply editing the Word document was priceless. Thank you!”

Dawn Campbell of Bear, Delaware decided to use one of Haley Productions’ hunts as an icebreaker for her bridal party – none of whom knew each other very well. Here’s what she had to say about our Operation: Our Town Scavenger Hunt:

“The hunt was great and I would do it again in a minute. I think the packaging, payment process, rules, collection items, etc. were just great. I know that we will be talking about this for years to come. Thanks for taking all the planning out of the equation and providing everything in a neat package. YAHOO

Just one more (of many) reviews for our scavenger hunt games:

“Everyone really enjoyed your Operation When Nature Calls scavenger hunt. The instructions and scoring were really easy to figure out, even for the kids. It was a good family activity and sharing activity for groups that didn’t know each other as well. Let me say, it’s not that I didn’t have confidence in the program, but I am a professional trainer and won’t ever present an activity without piloting it with a group first, especially if I have to explain it to the group. Helps me to answer questions. This is one of the most thoroughly thought out activities that I have ever seen. Thank you.” – Cyndi Avery, Newton, IA

We just had our annual Aunts/Cousins weekend and I wanted to tell you that my family had a great time with Operation Our Town Scavenger Hunt. I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve received nothing but praise from family and we have some awesome photo keepsakes from our weekend. We change each year on who is responsible for the fun and games and the group taking it on for next year and worried they cannot stand up to this one. I gave them your website to check out for ideas. – Christy Frederick, Saranac MI

REVIEWS:

“The kids has a ball with Operation Catch Me If You Can. I had 11 7-8 year old girls and things moved smoothly. We never had a dull moment; the girls never had time to “click” like they tend to do sometimes. No one ever felt left out and in the end when they watched their skits they wanted to do more.” – Shelly Husek, Sterling Heights, MI

“We did the hunt “Catch Me If You Can” for a schools out/summers here party and my boys (ages 9 & 10) and their friends LOVED it! They had sooooo much FUN! They loved being a detective and just having some good ol’ fun! We made some changes to the hunt to fit our needs and I can’t thank you enough. Each time I try one of your hunts they have been so easy to prepare, have had great creative ideas and are sooo much FUN! Thanks again.” – J. Cummings, Shelley, ID
