Do you remember Mad Libs? That game where you make a list of verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc and then fill them into a story template and end up with a crazy story that leaves you rolling with laughter? I decided to create one for pregnancy, birth, and babies for your enjoyment. This game is great for a quiet (although not for long) night at home or at a baby shower! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Grab a piece of paper, number it 1-40 and then write the corresponding word. Then copy it over to the story below. Or, for ease, use the printable version, A Baby Story Printable Word Game!
