What is cues?

Cues are like clues that help you know what to do next, just like when you play a game.

Imagine you're playing hide and seek. When someone says, "Ready or not, here I come!" that's a cue, it tells you to run and hide. Or maybe your friend taps you on the shoulder, that’s another kind of cue, telling you it's time to stop hiding and come out.

Think about when you're eating breakfast. You see your favorite cereal, and that makes you happy and ready to eat, that's a visual cue. Or maybe the smell of toast baking wakes you up, that’s a smell cue.

Cues can be sounds, sights, or even feelings. They’re like little helpers that tell your brain, “Hey, it's time for this next part!”

So whether you're playing a game, eating breakfast, or even just walking to school, cues are there to help you know what to do, just like clues in a mystery!
