Why Do We Use ‘Coins’ in Games and What Makes Them Fair?

Imagine you're playing a game with your friend, and you flip a coin to decide who goes first. A coin is like a little magic ball that helps us choose randomly. When it's fair, it has an equal chance of landing on heads or tails, just like when you split candy between two people.

Coins are used in games because they help make decisions random and fair. If the coin is fair, neither player gets an advantage, which makes the game fun and exciting.

A coin is fair if it has no bias, like if it's not made of strange materials that might make it favor one side over the other. So when you flip it, there's no trickery, just luck!
