Have some Fun this April Fools’ Day! Try Mad Libs for Kids!

Are you looking for something fun and educational to do on April Fools’ Day that doesn’t involve pranking the teacher??

This set of two April Fools’ Day Worksheets includes silly Mad Libs-style cloze passages that will have students creating hilarious stories at the end! While your class will think they are having fun, these worksheets will have them reading, problem-solving, and showing their understanding of sentence structure. 

When your class has finished their stories, have them read their silly story to the class! It’s sure to incite a few hearty laughs!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding  

This download includes two slightly different worksheets – the first provides students with possible words to put in the gaps, while the second has students picking between adjectives, nouns, animals, etc. Pick the worksheet that works for most of your class and then level up or down for each, depending on the skill level of your class.

An option is to have students work in small groups to create the story and brainstorm possible word combinations.
