Using a wireless router is the Nintendo's preferred method for getting connected to the internet. The USB WiFi adapter has been discontinued.

I've got an even more basic question. My wife says they're setting my my 6-year old's Wii and she thinks that we need a wireless Internet connection to make it work. I figure that may be true for on-line multiplayer gaming, but can't we at least start using the Wii on a 'standalone' basis, playing single player games?

you dont need an internet connection. you only need that for online playing, internet and downloading some of the extra channels

Online gaming is done over the internet. The Wii has built in WiFi as the recommended way to connect to the internet (for any reason - gaming, web browsing, Shopping Channel, etc.)
If you don't have a wifi router or adapter, you can get the LAN adapter which lets you connect an ethernet cable to your Wii.
