By Charlene Haukom

Create wacky stories at your next preschool birthday party! The Wacky Story Preschool Game is easy to play and preschoolers will love coming up with goofy stories. This preschool party game is also an educational game. Teach preschoolers about nouns, adjectives, and verbs!

What You Will Need

Wacky Story Template
Cardstock
3 Paper Bags (optional)
Magnetic chalk or dry erase board (optional)
½” Self-Adhesive Strip Magnet (optional)

How to Play

1. Print the Wacky Story Template on cardstock.

2. Cut out the story phrases. Cut between story lines and all RED words. For example, the phrase “Mary had a little” can all be on one strip of paper, but NOUN should be separated.

3. Cut out the Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives on page 2 of the template.

4. Attach the words and story phrases to the strip magnet and cut accordingly.

5. Label the paper bags – Noun, Adjective, and Verb.

6. Put the nouns from page 2 into the Noun bag, the adjectives in the Adjective bag, and the verbs in the Verb bag.

7. Assemble the story phrases on the magnetic board as they were laid out on the Wacky Story Template.

8. Preschoolers now draw words from the bags and put them in the story. Player 1 will draw a noun from the Noun bag and replace the NOUN magnet with the noun s/he drew. Continue through both stories.

9. Read the silly stories the preschoolers just created, then play again!

Make Wacky Story Preschool Party Game More Educational

Turn this preschool party game into an Educational Preschool Game! As you go through the story, teach preschoolers about nouns, adjectives, and verbs. You can also teach them about tenses. “Mary Had a Little Lamb” contains a present tense verb, and “Hey, Diddle, Diddle” contains a past tense verb. Explain that when an action happens in the past, we often add an “ed” to the end of the word. Teach preschoolers the difference between singular and plural nouns, and those funny nouns like ice cream that can be both!

Variations of the Wacky Story Preschool Party Game

If you need a game in a pinch, you can play this preschool game without the magnetic board, magnets, and bags. Just print out the Wacky Story Template and cut out the words on page 2. Flip the words over so players can’t read them and assemble them under the headers Noun, Adjective and Verb. Have the preschoolers draw the words as usual, then just place them on the story template. When you’re done, brush the words off and start again!
