Sword (Or Is It S-word?)

Don't you remember how popular MadLibs were when we were younger? The more random your words were, the better story it made. Even if you didn't realize it, MadLibs might be the sole reason you know exactly what nouns, adjectives, adverbs, or verbs are. :) Well played, inventor of MadLibs.

In one of my classes we were playing a MadLib online. It's a little different because it had pre-chosen words (ie, verbs or nouns or adjectives) flying all over the screen & you chose from that group of words which one you wanted in the story. The motion of the words just makes choosing the word a little more challenging & fun for the kids.

It was time for MC to choose a noun from the computer screen that was being projected onto my wall. She was looking up on the wall, scrambling to choose one of the words flying & jumping across the screen.

All of the sudden I hear, "S-WORD."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"S-WORD! Or whatever!"
"OHHH! Sword. Good one."

I couldn't stop laughing when I realized how awesome this was. It reminded of the Jeopardy skit on Saturday Night Live with the Sean Connery character changed all the categories to sound like something else. "Appetite" to "Ape tit" and "S-words" to "Swords," etc.

Here's the final product from the story we made. So silly...

Gone On Vacation?

Today, my class was not moving as quickly as I wanted them to. I turned to one student & asked, "Come on, where is your pen or pencil? Let's go..."

As he reached down to pick something up, he said "My pen or pencil went on vacation, but it's back now... I'm ready."

This is what I'm working with. :)
