Near the start of the 19th century, as the newly established United States looked outward toward the wider world, a group of eminent Protestant ministers formed a grand scheme for gathering the rest of mankind into the redemptive fold of Christianity and "civilization". Its core element was a special school for "heathen youth" drawn from all parts of the Earth, including the Pacific Islands, China, India, and increasingly, the native nations of North America. If all went well, graduates would return to join similar projects in their respective homelands.

Instead of our words bouncing off their foreheads and scattering to the floor, we can learn which way they view the world. Once we know this, we can use secret words that help them listen and understand.

It's a process that started with the earliest English colonists (first word adoption - the Algonquian raccoon) and is still going strong today. Author Rosemarie Ostler takes listeners along on the journey as Americans learn to declare linguistic independence and embrace their own brand of speech.

Social play, especially team games, is a great experience that encourages kids to lead or support their teammates, and provides a wealth of opportunities to share, take turns, and show respect for others. It is an excellent way of encouraging children to learn and practice all the skills required by working together.
