MadLibs for BC and A-School
OK ladies...now that we've gotten the ball started on MadLibs for our recruits and sailors...let's keep them in a safe place where we can reference them for later and make them available for other Moms on N4M to find. I was afraid at first to attempt to make my first MadLib...but then as I got started, the sentences just seemed to work out. Let's see what you can come up with!
Here's my first MadLib created for SRs who have just arrived at BC:
When we first got to boot camp at Great Lakes and stepped off the bus, a adjective noun started shouting out directions to us. We all were adjective and tried to pay attention to all of the plural noun given to us. We had to put our civilian clothes in a box to send home. I made sure to put plural noun in the box to freak out my Mom. We were then issued our new uniform called cartoon character that signifies that we are new recruits. We were so past tense verb by the time we called home, that we sounded like a noun on the phone.The next day we woke up at military time and ate breakfast at the place. The food was different than what I ate at home. It tasted like a adjective nightmare. Then the military doctors started poking and prodding us with a noun and filling vials with body parts. Once we got all of our plural noun, we had to label them with a set of kitchen utensil. You should see how they turned out! We also had to go to the barber to get out head past tense verb. I look like a animal with no hair on my head. At the end of our first day we finally got to get some sleep. I dreamt about geographic location and plural noun before the rude awakening at military time by someone verb in our faces.
