What are swap places?

Swap places are when two things switch spots with each other, just like when you and your friend trade seats on the bus.

Imagine you're sitting in your favorite seat on the bus, and your best friend comes along and says, "Can we swap places?" You both stand up, walk to each other's seats, and sit down. Now you're in your friend’s spot, and they’re in yours! That’s what a swap is, it’s when two things move to each other’s original spots.

Like toys on a shelf

Think of it like this: you have two toy cars on a shelf, one red, one blue. If they swap places, the red car moves to where the blue car was, and the blue car moves to where the red car was. Now the shelf looks different, but both cars are still there, just in new spots!

It’s like a fun game of trading, no magic needed, just a little moving around! Swap places are when two things switch spots with each other, just like when you and your friend trade seats on the bus.
