<h1>Mad Libs</h1> <p>Mad Libs are a game that you play with words. It's also a great introduction to how variables work in coding. A variable is just a bucket where you put something. In Mad Libs, those variables are the following:</p> <ol> <li>An <strong>ADJECTIVE</strong> describes something or somebody</li> <li>An <strong>ADVERB</strong> tells how something is done.</li> <li>A <strong>NOUN</strong> is the name of a person, place or thing.</li> <li>A <strong>VERB</strong> is an action word.</li> <li>A <strong>PLACE</strong> can be a country, city, room etc.</li> <li>An <strong>EXCLAMATION</strong> or <strong>SILLY WORD</strong> is any sort of funny noise or sound effect.</li> <li>Specific words like <strong>NUMBER</strong>, <strong>COLOUR</strong>, <strong>ANIMAL</strong> or <strong>PART OF THE BODY</strong> means that the variable you're filling in is actually one of those things. <li><strong>PLURAL</strong> means more than one thing.</li> </ol> On the next screen you'll be prompted to enter some text in to fill the variables out. In this story there are <strong>11</strong> in total. After that, you'll be shown what you've chosen, and then you can proceed to see how your entries affect the story.
