We’re thrilled to announce the latest app from Prayground — meet GabLibs, a Mad Libs app that kids can talk to.
What is GabLibs?
GabLibs takes the classic fill-in-the-blank word game and brings it to life with voice. Instead of typing or writing words on paper, kids simply speak their answers out loud. The app listens, drops those words into a story template, and reads the whole thing back. The result is always hilarious and always unique.
Why Voice?
Young kids love Mad Libs but many of them can’t read or write yet. By making the entire experience voice-driven, we’ve opened up the game to children as young as four years old. No keyboard needed — just a microphone and an imagination.
Here’s how a typical session works:
- Pick a category — choose from Animals, Holidays, Places, Nature, Jobs, or Food
- Choose a story — each category has multiple story templates
- Speak your words — the app asks for nouns, verbs, adjectives, silly sounds, and more
- Listen and laugh — your completed story is read aloud with word-by-word highlighting
