Language is like a big box of colorful crayons. Each crayon is a word, and we use these words to draw pictures in other people’s minds. When you say “dog,” you are using a crayon to draw a picture of a dog in someone else’s head.
Think of language as a toolbox. Inside, there are many tools, like words and sentences, to help you build stories, ask questions, or tell someone you love them. Just like you need different tools to fix a toy, you need different words to express different thoughts.
Language is also like a song. It has rhythm and melody. When you talk, you use your voice to make sounds that go up and down, just like notes in a song. This helps people understand how you feel, whether you are happy, sad, or excited.
Imagine language as a game with rules. You learn how to play by listening and practicing. Just like in a game, when you follow the rules, everyone can understand and have fun together.
