Being facts for kids

The word being is used to describe anything that exists or is alive. This includes people, animals, and even things we imagine or believe in. For example, a "human being" is another way to say "person." So, men, women, and children are all human beings.

Sometimes, when people write stories or make movies, they talk about "beings" from other planets, like aliens. Many religions also speak of supernatural beings. These might be spirits, angels, or gods.
