Yep, you bet!

Mars is the orange-looking 'star' in the north sky and Venus is the very bright 'star' in the west. Saturn is a bit harder, it is a pale yellowish white 'star' in the East.

The main thing that makes Planets a bit easier to find amongst the stars is that Planets don't twinkle. Stars do!

I hope that helps to get you started.
