MAD LIBS:
Los MADLIBs, son unos libros que causan furor en Estados Unidos, pues hace años existía un
programa de televisión con el mismo nombre.. La mecánica es muy sencilla, unos textos con huecos
para rellenar y componer disparatadas historias.

Elegimos un texto para pasar al alumnado. Los alumnos rellenarán una lista de palabras sin saber de
qué va el texto. Por ejemplo nombre de mujer, adjetivo, animal en plural... Utilizaremos esas
palabras para rellenar los huecos de nuestra historia y por último lo leeremos en voz alta.

Donde más jugo les he sacado es en el área de Inglés, pues existe un programa de televisión "El show
de Jimmy Fallon" donde los utilizan para crear un pequeño "scketch" con personajes famosos. Y así
le sumamos un buen ejercicio de comprensión oral. En este caso en concreto junto a Tom Cruise.

Además en la web de MADLIBS tienes enlaces a algunos ejemplos para imprimir (aunque enfocados
a primaria) y una interesante guía didáctica, que te puede ser de ayuda. Y unas APPS para utilizar,
aunque en inglés existen diferentes webs para jugar online como estas:
