What Are Valentine’s Day Mad Libs?
Valentine’s Day Mad Libs are fill-in-the-blank stories with a festive twist. Instead of reading the story first, kids are asked to provide specific types of words—such as nouns, adjectives, or verbs. Once all the blanks are filled in, the completed story is read out loud, usually resulting in a funny and unexpected Valentine’s Day tale.
This activity is a great way to sneak in language practice while keeping things lighthearted and fun.

Favorite Supplies:
These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use and LOVE!
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
- Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
- Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
- Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
- Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.
