What is baton?

A baton is like a special stick that helps people pass something important from one to another.

Imagine you and your friend are playing a game where you have to run around the playground, and when it's time for your friend to take over, you hand them a little stick. That stick is the baton. It shows who gets to go next. In real life, people use a baton in races called relays, like in the Olympics! When one runner finishes their part of the race, they pass the baton to the next person, and that person starts running right away.

When you hand someone the baton, you're giving them the chance to do something important. It's like when you're playing tag, and you tap your friend to make them "it." The baton is just a little reminder of who gets to go next, and it makes sure everyone knows exactly when they should start running!
