What are clues to guide you?

Clues are hints that help you figure out what’s going on, like pieces of a puzzle.

Imagine you're playing a game where someone hides your favorite toy somewhere in the room. They don’t tell you exactly where it is, but they give you little hints to help you find it. Maybe they say, “It’s near the big red chair,” or “You can hear it ticking.” Those are clues.

Think of yourself as a detective solving a mystery. If your friend lost their glasses, and you found them on the kitchen table, that's a clue that helps you know where to look next time they lose them again.

Clues can be in stories, games, or even when you're trying to find your way home from school. A clue might be something like “The bus is blue,” or “There’s a big tree near the park.” These clues help you know what to do next, just like finding your toy with the help of hints!
