I am planning on doing a madlibs activity during my summer camp. I have a worksheet with the short story. Here is where it gets tricky. If I give them the worksheet, they can read the story before they answer-no good. Their answers have to written before they read. I have cut holes in another paper (they can't read, it is covered) but this takes time to cut and it can be ripped easily. I can give them a blank paper first and have them write their answers there and later rewrite the answers on the story page. Any good ideas? Anyone done this activity before?

I understand this thread is old, but I wanted to give my idea since it worked well for me.

I wrote the story in Excel, and started a new line when there was a blank.
I created another tab where I would ask for a color, a size, an adjective etc.
I would type in their answers on this sheet.
back to the tab with the blank, I would reference the tab with their answers.

This worked well for me.
