Mysteries of Language and Communication

You have just walked into...

...the coolest room you've ever seen. On one side there's an arcade with pinball machines, cool video games, and basketball hoops. On the other side there is a bouncy house and ball pit and more. The room is full of kids playing games, bouncing, and having a great time. It is joyfully noisy. You are so excited and can't wait to jump in and join everyone. 

You walk up to a group of kids who are playing together. "Hi!" you say to everyone there. "My name is...! What are your names?" One after another the kids say something back to you. You hear some words that sound like "Hi," and maybe some names, but otherwise you don't know what they are saying. They all sound different from you and from each other. You stop for a moment and listen to all of the voices around you. Suddenly, you realize everyone in the room is speaking different languages. WOW! You didn't even know so many languages existed. You think it's pretty cool that everyone has found a way to play together.
