Starry, starry night
If you look up on a clear, moonless night, you will see many stars. Some of these stars could be joined up (kind of like connect-the-dots) to form patterns in the sky. These patterns of stars are called constellations.
The sky is currently divided into 88 constellations which are named after animals, people or objects (e.g., Great Bear, Aquarius, Southern Cross and Big Dipper).
