What is yes?

Yes is when you say I agree or I want that, like when your friend asks if you want to play outside and you say "yes" because you're happy to go.

What Does "Yes" Sound Like?

When you say yes, it sounds like a short, happy word, “yes!”. It can be loud or soft, depending on how excited you are. Imagine your friend asks if you want to eat ice cream, and you jump up and shout “yes!” because you love chocolate.

What Does "Yes" Mean?

When someone asks a question, like "Do you want to go to the park?", saying yes means you're in, you’re ready to go. It’s like when your mom says “Do you want juice?” and you say “yes!” because you’re hungry and happy.

If you don’t know what to choose, sometimes it’s easier to just say “yes” than to think too much, especially if the thing you're saying yes to is something fun.
