A cross is like when you make a big plus sign with your fingers, one pointing up and down, and the other pointing side to side. It’s like a big hug with your arms stretched out wide. Sometimes, people use crosses to show where to go, like a treasure map with an X marking the spot. In sports, a cross can be when someone kicks a ball from one side to another to help their friend score a goal.

Think of a cross as two roads meeting in the middle. When you come to a crossroad, you have to decide which way to go. It’s like when you have to choose between playing with your toy car or your doll. A cross is also like a special sign that people use to remember important things, like being kind or brave.

Another way to see a cross is like a bridge that connects two different places. Imagine you have a toy train track, and the cross is where the tracks meet, letting the train go in different directions. It’s a way to bring things together, like when you mix different colors to make a new one.
