Last week, my seven-year-old daughter came home from school excited and told me that her teacher had her play a new game called Mad Libs. The game has been around since the 1950s, but it was new to her and she loves it. That prompted me to create some Mad Libs games for her to play.
crazy liberals
To create online Mad Libs for my daughter, I turned to Flippity.net, where I used their free Mad Libs generator. She quickly created six fun story templates for my daughter to complete. Initially, I manually generated the templates as shown in the video here. Later, I enlisted the help of Google Bard to speed up the Mad Libs template generation process. That process is shown in this demonstration.
Frivolity is often the answer
Over the years, I've answered many questions from readers and workshop attendees who wanted to know how to create review games to play in person and online. Often my response has been to take a look at Flippity. Not only does Mad Libs offer templates as described above, but it also offers twenty-seven other types of templates.
The video I made on the Flippity online board game template is one of the most popular videos I've made. Can look it here.
“Jeopardy games” and “online flashcards” were two of the most searched terms on FreeTech4Teachers.com before it sold it last summer. Flippity has templates to do both. Here is a demo how to make media cards with Flippity.
And outdoor bingo is still one of my favorite games to play with my kids. Flippity is the tool I use to make outdoor bingo boards.
In short, if you're looking to create your own fun review activities for your students to play in person or online, Flippity probably has a template for you.
