What are swaps?

A swap is when two people trade something they have for something else they want, like trading toys at recess.

Imagine you and your friend both have lunchboxes. You love chips, but your friend loves candy bars. Your lunchbox has a bunch of chips, and theirs has candy bars. Instead of eating what you each have, you can do a swap: you give them your chips, and they give you their candy bars. Now you both get what you want!

This is just like how adults sometimes swap things too, like when grown-ups trade parts of their jobs or money for something else they need.

You might do a swap at school, with friends, or even with your family. It's a simple way to get what you want by giving up what you have. No magic needed, just a friendly trade!
