Lying about in a hospital is no fun. I used to volunteer at a children’s hospital and I saw how hard it was for them. Uno® was usually a huge hit and card games because it doesn’t take a lot of energy and movement to play them. Another option to put on the radar once card games get stale is also an oldie, but goodie: Mad Libs®.
Mad Libs® is a simple game that allows for a little creativity and fun without requiring a lot of supplies and clean-up. Plus there is a variety of Mad Libs® books to choose from, from holiday-themed ones to ones based on movies and TV-shows, or even based on other games (e.g. Operation Mad Libs®).
And don’t just think all these books are aimed at the pre-teen and younger set. There are more adult theme books for older patients who need a little cheering up, including Family Guy Mad Libs® or Adult Mad Libs: Kiss Me, I’m Single®.
