Few games have produced as many belly laughs over the years as Mad Libs. The simple-but-hilarious word game is a snap to set up and jolly good fun for both kids and adults. Like trivia contests and scavenger hunts, it’s a great Christmastime activity – especially when you put a yuletide spin on it.
I’ve done just that with the following Christmas Mad Libs stories. I’ve included the full stories later in the article, but if you’re just interested in the printables, here they are. Just click a link to view and print the PDF.
The “rules” couldn’t be simpler. The Reader reads out the prompts and fills in the blanks with the other person’s answers. Then the Reader reads the story with the blanks filled in, and hopefully everyone busts a gut laughing at the ridiculous results.
The reason Mad Libs is fun for all ages is that the results can be naughty or nice depending entirely on the players and how they fill in the blanks. If you don’t have the idea by now, you will when you preview the stories below.
Dear Santa
Dear Santa, My name is Sally. I have been a very [adjective] girl this year. I always listen to Mom and Dad and do my chores, like [verb ending in -ing] the dog, cleaning the [noun], and keeping an eye on my [adjective] brother.
But of course, you already know all that. It’s just like that [adjective] song goes: You see me when I’m [verb ending in -ing] and you know when I’m [adjective]!
Now let’s get down to business. I know most kids are asking for the new [noun] videogame or their own electronic [noun], but personally, I like [adjective] toys. I want a doll that [verb ending in -s] and a book about [plural noun]. But what I’d really like is a battery powered [noun] that [verb ending in -s] when you [verb]. Can your [adjective] helpers the elves make something like that?
Also, please take pity on my little brother. I know he’s probably on the [adjective] list this year, and rightly so. It’s true that he [verb ending in -ed] the cat and left his [plural noun] all over the living room, but please don’t leave a lump of [noun] in his stocking! He’s a [adjective] kid at heart!
Sincerely,
Sally
Let’s Build a Snowman
One December morning during Christmas break, Bill and his little sister Jill woke up to [number] feet of snow outside. Feeling [adjective], they each put on their warmest [article of clothing] and went outside.
“Let’s have a [adjective] snowball fight with the kids next door!” said Bill [adverb].
“Naw, those kids are too [adjective],” said Jill. “We’re just going to end up breaking a [noun] and getting in trouble.”
“Hey, I know,” said Bill in a [adjective] voice. “Let’s build the most [adjective] snowman ever!”
Jill [adverb] agreed and they quickly gathered all the supplies they would need. For the snowman’s arms, Bill inserted two [plural noun]. For his eyes, Jill used some [plural noun] they found lying around the house. They dressed him up with an old [article of clothing] they found in their dad’s closet. And finally, for his [body part], they used a [vegetable].
[Number] hours later, they finally finished their creation and invited their mom to come and see.
“Wow,” said their mom, “that is the most [adjective] snowman I have ever seen. Next time maybe you could try making a snow [noun]!”
Santa’s Christmas Party
Most people don’t know that Santa and Mrs. Claus throw a big [adjective] holiday party every year. It happens on December 26, after all the [plural noun] have been given to the children and Santa finally has time to [verb]. The elves decorate the workshop with beautiful [plural noun], the reindeer are groomed until they look positively [adjective], and Santa welcomes [number] of his closest friends to the big event.
One of the highlights of the party is when the elves vote on the most [adjective] toy of the year. Past winners include Rock ’em Sock’ em [plural noun], Mr. [vegetable] Head, and [verb] Me Elmo. The most recent winners were the new Teenage [adjective] Ninja [animal] action figures.
Toward the end of the night, some holiday celebrities make an appearance, including Rudolph the Red-[body part]-ed Reindeer and Frosty the Snow [noun]. It’s all capped off with a speech by none other than [adjective] Saint Nick himself.
After everyone has had their fill of [food]nog and candy [plural noun], it’s time to go home. But for all those in attendance, Santa’s party is one more reason December is the most [adjective] time of the year.
Best White Elephant Ever
Last year’s White Elephant gift exchange was a blast! We had [number] participants, and the presents they brought ranged from hilarious to just plain [adjective].
If you don’t know what White Elephant is, perhaps you know it by a different name, like [adjective] Santa or [adjective] Swap. It’s a staple of the holiday season, like ugly [article of clothing] contests and Christmas [food] exchanges.
Dianne was the first to open a present, and it was an electric [noun], which was quite [adjective]. Everyone desperately wanted that gift, so it kept getting stolen! Later, Bob opened a novelty [noun] with a picture of [famous person] on it. Then, to top off the night, Betty got an oversized [noun] that [verb ending in -s] when you [verb] it. Everyone got quite a laugh out of that.
I had so much fun last year that I’m already looking for a [adjective] present to bring to the next gift exchange. I’m thinking of either a calendar with pictures of [adjective] [plural noun] or a [famous person] action figure that [verb ending in -s] on command. I guess it depends on which one fits the price limit, which is [number] dollars.
Well, I hope I’ve helped you fill in the blanks on some of your holiday activities. Enjoy the Christmas Mad Libs, and Happy Holidays!
