Welcome back, friends.
My name is Gabe.
And I'm still Ginger.
You're still Ginger.
Do you still like playing games, Ginger?
Uh yeah, sure do.
Well, that's good.
So do I.
Now I am thinking of a word from this week.
The Word Brothers talked about this word.
And the word is "peace." There are two different ways to spell this word.
So I'll say a sentence, and Ginger, I want you to guess which way to spell this
word, OK?
Uh, yeah. I can try.
All right, here I go.
I'm very hungry.
So I want to eat a piece of pie.
Ginger, which "piece" did I use?
Oh, you want a piece of pie?
Mmhm.
Let's see.
Oh, I know It starts with a P.
Oh, very good. Very good.
P-I-E.
P-I-E, yes, because that is "pie," but that's not the end of the word.
P-I-E...
C-E. Piece.
Yes, that's right.
A piece of pie.
Hey, that sounds pretty delicious.
Ginger, why don't we get a piece of pie.
Uh, friends, right now it's time for you to go and enjoy our features beginning
with...
The Word Brothers.
Hi, everyone, I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes, just like some English words.
For example, piece, P-I-E-C-E.
And peace, P-E-A-C-E.
These two words sound similar.
But they are very different.
We often use the word piece, P-I-E-C-E, when we are talking about food.
That's true.
We say: I want a piece of pizza.
Or, would you like a piece of cake?
We can also say a piece of chocolate or a piece of candy.
Or a piece of gum.
Or a piece of pie.
Yum.
A piece, P-I-E-C-E, is a part of something.
Right.
Now "piece," P-I-E-C-E, is different from "peace," P-E-A-C-E.
What does peace, P-E-A-C-E, mean, Tim?
We often hear about peace at Christmas.
Peace is a time when there is no fighting or trouble between people or
countries.
Many people hope for peace.
Peace can also mean to be quiet and calm.
Our dad likes to have peace and quiet at our house so he can rest.
He doesn't like it when Jim and I are too noisy.
Tim is the noisy one.
I'm always quiet.
That's not true!
Yes, it is.
You are always shouting and singing really loudly.
I am not!
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not!
Tim, let's not argue.
Let's have some peace.
Fine.
OK, friends, piece.
And peace.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim, saying...
Goodbye.
Hello, friends.
I'm here with DJ Prince and the one and only Black Pearl.
That's me!
Now let's play a game of Sing and Say.
Sing and Say.
Oh, yeah, baby.
How do we play?
Well...

You try to sound the same.
Say these words again today.
That's how you play the game.
