Pay is like when you give your friend a special card or some shiny coins because they helped you clean up your toys. It’s a way of saying ‘thank you’ and showing you appreciate their help. When you pay someone, it’s like giving them a little present for doing something nice for you.
Imagine you have a box of your favorite crayons. If you want to use your friend’s special color, you might trade one of your crayons for theirs. Paying is similar: you give something you have, like money, to get something you want or need, like a toy or a yummy snack.
Think of it like a game of pretend shopping. You pretend to be a grown-up and ‘buy’ things with pretend money. In real life, grown-ups use real money to pay for things like food, clothes, and toys. It’s like a magic key that helps unlock the things they need or want.
When your parents go to the store, they use money to pay for groceries. This is how they make sure you have food to eat and clothes to wear. It’s all about sharing and trading to make sure everyone has what they need.
