I like the idea of using well-written pop culture for education whenever possible. If you have a kid who loves (or is soon to love) Aladdin, try teaching them a few of these words used in the movie.
There are also phrases (diamond in the rough) and cultural references (midday prayers, Scheherazadie) that aren't listed on Vocabulary.com, but which would also be great to explain to a kid. The key is making sure *you* understand these ideas thoroughly, then making them part of the fun rather than part of a lecture or rote memorization. :-)
Whether you’re a teacher or a learner,
Vocabulary.com can put you or your class
on the path to systematic vocabulary improvement.
