Vocabulary for Kids was made for families who spend hours in the car — heading to travel sports, tournaments, and practices. Instead of letting that drive time go to waste, each short episode teaches your kid one vocabulary word: a clear definition, a story to make it stick, and real example sentences. No worksheets, no screens — just a few minutes of learning between the backseat and the next game.
Hey everyone! Today’s word is orbit.
Orbit means the curved path that an object follows as it moves around a planet, star, or another object in space.
Imagine the Moon going around Earth. The Moon doesn’t just fly away into space—it follows a curved path around Earth. That path is called its orbit.
Orbit can also be used as a verb, meaning to move around something in space.
Here are three examples:
The Moon orbits Earth.
Earth travels in an orbit around the Sun.
The satellite was placed into orbit around Earth.
So remember: orbit = the path something follows as it moves around another object in space.

Wander — Vocabulary Word for Kids (Ep. 101)
Hey everyone! Today’s word is wander.
Wander means to walk or move around without a clear destination or plan.
Imagine you’re at a big park and decide to walk around just to explore. You turn down different paths, look at the trees, and see where they lead. You’re wandering because you don’t have a specific place you’re trying to reach.
Wander can also mean that your thoughts or attention move away from what you’re supposed to be focusing on.
Here are three examples:
We wandered around the park and discovered a beautiful pond.
The lost puppy wandered through the neighborhood.
My mind began to wander during the long lecture.
So remember: wander = move around without a clear direction or let your attention drift.

Quarrel — Vocabulary Word for Kids (Ep. 100)
Hey everyone! Today’s word is quarrel.
Quarrel means an argument or disagreement, especially between people who know each other.
Imagine two friends both want to use the same game console. They start arguing about whose turn it is. That disagreement is a quarrel.
A quarrel can also be used as a verb, meaning to argue with someone.
Here are three examples:
The two friends had a quarrel about whose turn it was.
The siblings often quarrel over small things.
They had a quarrel but apologized to each other afterward.
So remember: quarrel = an argument or disagreement.
