battle

ba·tl

A battle is like a big, serious game where two groups or armies try to outsmart each other and win. Sometimes it can be a tough challenge and many people might die due to it. It's like a giant chess match, but with people and often lots of noise. A battle could also be a difficult problem that you are facing and need a lot of hard work to deal with. Some famous battles include The Battle of Gettysburg and The Battle of Normandy, although The Battle of Waterloo is likely the most well-known.

day

dey

A day in the context of history, is not just any regular 24-hour period. Instead, it's an important and specific moment or event in the past. It's like zooming in on a particular day on the historical calendar, highlighting a noteworthy occasion or a turning point that had a big impact. But it could be a longer period like a decade or a generation. For example, when you talk about your day, that means back when you were younger, or you could also talk about the days of a particular person or event.

explorer

uhks·plo·ruhr

An explorer is someone whose job is to travel to new places and find out what's hiding there. Sometimes they need to go to remote locations unknown to man and map them out. It could be a dangerous job and perhaps they will go on several adventures, but they do it all in the name of science. Some famous explorers include Ferdinand Magellan and Christopher Colombus, but the most famous explorer in fiction is probably Indiana Jones.

costume

kaas·tyoom

A costume is like a special set of clothes that tells a story about where someone is from or what time they lived in. It's like putting on a magical outfit that transports you to a different place or a super cool time in the past. These costumes could tell everyone where someone came from or their place in society. Some examples include a samurai costume, a queen's dress or the clothes worn by a clown or a doctor.

generation

je·nuh·rei·shn

Imagine generations as big groups of people who share the same kind of music, fashion, and, well, life vibes. It's like a huge team of buddies who all grew up together, played the same video games, and jammed to the same tunes. Each generation has their own stories, slang, and memories of shared experiences from the same awesome era. A generation can also be a set of people in a family born of the generation that came right before.
