What are conditions and consequences?

A condition is something that needs to be true for something else to happen, and a consequence is what happens when those things are true.

Imagine you have a toy car that only moves if you push it on a ramp. The condition is that you push the car on the ramp. If that happens, then the consequence is that the car rolls down the ramp and zooms across the floor!

Think of conditions like instructions for a game. You need to follow them for something fun to happen.

• If it's raining outside, you take an umbrella.
• If you eat all your vegetables, you get dessert.
• If you press the red button, the robot dances.

These are conditions, they tell you what needs to be done before a cool thing happens.

The consequences are the fun parts that come after you meet the conditions. Like:

• You stay dry because of the umbrella.
• You get to enjoy your favorite dessert.
• The robot does its happy dance!

So, every time you do something, there might be a condition and a consequence, it's like playing with rules to make things happen!
