Cash prizes are money you get for doing something special or winning a game.
Imagine you and your friends have a race to see who can run the fastest. The person who wins gets cash, which is just real money in your hand, like coins or paper bills. That’s what a cash prize is: money given to someone because they did something amazing.
Like Getting an Extra Snack
Think of it like getting an extra snack at lunchtime if you do really well on a test. A cash prize is like that extra snack, but instead of food, it's real money that you can use to buy toys, candy, or even ice cream.
When You Win, You Get It Straight Away
If you win a contest, a game show, or even just the fastest race in your class, sometimes they give you cash prizes right away, so you can spend it on whatever you want, just like getting a big, happy surprise!
