2023 Fedora Holiday Activities

Week 1: December 4-8th

Community Mad Libs

Join us this week to help create a hilariously funny Holiday Mad Lib.

Mad Libs are a fun, phrasal, templated word game where players supply required words to complete a story without know the intended context or theme. Common required words are; nouns, verbs, adjectives and sometimes names or number values.

• Noun: person, place or thing
• Verb: action word
• Adjective: a describing word

How to Play:

1. Go to the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WdTTFZ6XEYh2GL7YdHMK70asHWbNfLFvC-OitpMSDwA/edit?usp=sharing
2. Select an open cell and enter your corresponding answer.
   1. You may submit more than answer, but please be respectful of others wanting to participate and leave space for them to do so.
   2. Please be respectful in your submissions. No crude, foul or inappropriate responses will be tolerated.
3. Once all the spaces have been filled, I will compile all of the words into our funny holiday story and share it with the community.
