What are landmarks?

A landmark is something you can see and use to know where you are.

Imagine you're walking through a park, and there's a big red slide right in front of you. That slide is like a landmark, it helps you figure out where you are, just like a friend might say, “I’ll meet you near the big red slide!”

Think of landmarks as special signposts that aren’t made of wood or metal. They can be buildings, trees, bridges, or even statues. For example, if you're walking to school and you see the big yellow clock tower at the corner of the street, that’s your landmark, it helps you know you’re close to school!

Just like how a map shows where things are, landmarks help people find their way without needing a map. If you're lost in the city and see a really tall building with a red roof, that might be your clue, it's a landmark that helps you remember where you’re going!
