French class game

[fronebullare]

So since me and my friends are so freakin bored in french...we come up with a game. What u do is fill in the blanks with random names/words, i think its called a "madlib"...not sure. Anyway, what we did was use who killed who with what and what and it turned out to get pretty funny.

blank verb blank with a(n) blank and a(n) blank .

Fronebullare assassinated DizzyDi with a glass of water and a nancy drew novel

(yup, we are THAT bored in there)

Actually, a "Madlib" (the word is a pun on "adlib", which means to make a speech or other performance in an impromptu manner; similar to improv, but entirely spoken) is a paragraph in which key words have been removed, meant to be replaced without context by a third party. For example, your phrase would be as such:

Person assassinated person with a noun and a [/u]noun[/u].

A moderating player would then ask another player for the names of two people, and two nouns, providing no context. The blanks are then filled in, in the order that the player provided, and the passage read back with the new words inserted. I suspect that at least part of the purpose of this game is to aid children in learning grammar.

I believe that "Madlibs" is actually a brand name. You can typically find books for the game near the school supplies in any given store that carries that sort of material. Last time I saw them was at a drug store, personally.

Consider this format:

I'm in your place, verbing your noun.

You and your blanking friends never made that up if it already exists.

Fronebullare se couche avec DizzyDi, mais DizziDi ne l'aime pas, si il mange les mains de Fronebullare et les met dans la bouche de la bleue phoque. C'est vrai, amirite?

Il faut écriver les phrases en français, n'est pas?

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

Non.

Au revoir.
