What is First come, first served?

First come, first served means whoever gets there first gets to go next.

Imagine you and your friend are waiting in line for ice cream at your favorite shop. You get there before your friend. The person behind the counter sees you first, so they give you your ice cream before giving your friend theirs. That’s first come, first served, like a real-life queue!

Think of it like waiting in line for the slide at the park. If you get to the front of the line first, you go down the slide first. Your friend has to wait until you’re done. It's fair and simple, no need for extra rules or tricks.

This rule is used everywhere: at schools, restaurants, even on the internet! It’s like having a rule that says, “If you get here before someone else, you go next.” No magic, just fairness.
