I was studying social studies with my nine-year-old. Living near Philly we cover North East history. One of the vocabulary terms we were covering was harbor.
We’ve been playing Settlers of Catan a lot lately. ( it’s a great board game if you’re not familiar). And in the game one strategy is to control the harbors for better trade prospects.
My seven-year-old is really good at the game and he understands the strategies and loves to play. So I asked him “D-man, what’s a harbor.”
His response, “Oh, I know. It’s the place where we go to get your haircut.”
I just about hit the floor laughing so hard.
Proper terminology matters, wether your speaking on rounds or taking your test. Get the words right.
