    Here's another game off the top of my head we could play and our children might participate in as well:

    1) I give a word
    2) The next person defines it in terms they understand - not necessarily dictionary definitions (if they're really ambitious they could make a sentence using the word)
    3) And then they give a new word for the next person to define

    Want to try it?

    The first word is: compassion

    laanguage that is spacific to a group that is difficult for outsiders to understand.

    In Central America, The combination of cultures creates jargon that is regional. A doctors jargon is different than a lawyers jargon.
