What is place?

A place is where something happens or lives, just like your favorite toy has a special spot on your shelf.

Imagine you have a red ball. When it’s in your hand, it's with you. But when you put it back on the floor by the couch, that’s its place. The floor by the couch is where the ball belongs most of the time, just like your bed is your place for sleeping.

Sometimes, a place feels special because of what happens there. Your kitchen is a place for cooking and eating, and maybe even for hiding from your brother when he wants to find you!

A place can also change, like your room becomes a place for playing video games after school or a place for reading stories before bed.

So remember: wherever something is most of the time, or where important things happen, that's its place. A place is where something happens or lives, just like your favorite toy has a special spot on your shelf.
