I'm sure you're familiar with playing an Ad Lib game. You play by coming up with random words and fitting them into a little story, to create a (sometimes) hilarious scenario to read. For the first time on my blog, I'm introducing my own Ad Lib puzzle--Book Version! Why is it called "Book Version"? I took a small portion of a real book to create the ad lib from. By using a few paragraphs, and replacing some words, I came up with a list for you to fill out. Your own words will be used to re-create the story again, and this time it will be completely different than the orignal story! Make sense? You might be curious to know what book I'm using to create the activity. The book is "Farmer Boy" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. You can read a review I wrote for this book by visiting The Backyard blog.

Here's the INSTRUCTIONS:

-*-Fill out the above list, using the appropriate type of word.

-*-Leave a comment with your list of words.

After I get your list, I will insert the words into the "Farmer Boy" story and you'll be able to see how it turned out.

I will also post the real paragraphs from the book, and compare the original with yours.
