Try a cobuild dictionary like...

They are almost always student friendly dictionaries.

Thanks Jonathan. Reverso wasn't one of the on-line dictionaries I've run into and I liked the results when I put in a keyword! We study countries in third grade and it might be fun to translate some geographic terms into other languages as well as using the dictionary look-up as a definition resource (WIN-WIN);)

Thanks for your contribution to the cause...I think I like the idea of providing a couple of options to my young learners.
