What is observer?

A observer is someone who sees or notices something happening.

Imagine you're playing hide and seek in your favorite park. You close your eyes and count to ten, that’s when the fun begins! When you open your eyes, you become an observer, because now you can see where everyone is hiding. Without you opening your eyes, they could be anywhere, but once you look, you notice them.

Like a Detective

Being an observer is like being a detective. You watch carefully and try to find clues. If you're trying to figure out what your friend is doing behind the tree, you need to be an observer, watching closely so you don’t miss anything important.

The More You Notice, the Better

Sometimes, people are observers without even realizing it. Maybe you’re sitting on the couch and you see your brother drop his ice cream. That’s being an observer too! It's just like when you're playing a game, the more you pay attention, the better you get at figuring things out.

So remember: whenever you look, listen, or notice something new, you're being an observer, and that makes you pretty awesome!
