What is attack?

Attack is when one person or thing tries to hurt, push back, or take something from another person or thing.

Imagine you're playing a game of tag with your friend in the park. You’re it, and you run after them, trying to catch them before they can hide. That’s like an attack, you're trying to get them so they can’t escape.

Like a Battle in a Playground

Think of it like a battle between two teams at recess. One team wants to take over the swing set from the other. They run, shout, and maybe even push a little bit. That’s an attack, one group is trying to make the other back down or lose something important (like the swings).

Attack in Real Life

You can see attacks everywhere! A dog might attack a mailman by barking loudly and chasing them. Or, when you're playing video games, your character might attack an enemy by jumping on it or throwing a sword.

Attack is all about trying to win, whether you're at the park, in a game, or even in real life!
