south

South is like when you are playing in a big playground and you want to find a certain spot. It’s one of the four main directions you can go: north, south, east, and west. Imagine you are facing the sun when it rises, that’s east. If you turn right, that’s south. South is like going toward warmer places, like where the sun shines brightly and it’s nice and toasty.

Think of a map as a big piece of paper with tiny roads and places drawn on it. If you look at the map, south is usually at the bottom of the paper. It’s like when you are looking at a book, and the bottom part of the page is where south would be.

When birds fly to warmer places in the winter, they go south. It’s like they are going on a vacation to a sunny beach! So, south is a direction that helps you know where you want to go, like going to a fun place where you can play outside without getting cold.
