A proposal is like when you have a really cool idea and you want to share it with someone so they can help you make it happen. Imagine you want to build a super awesome treehouse. You might draw a picture of it and tell your parents how it will have a slide and a swing. This picture and your explanation are your proposal. It’s a way to show others your plan and get them excited to help you.
Think of a proposal like a recipe for a cake. You have a list of ingredients and steps to follow to make something delicious. When you share this recipe with a friend, you’re proposing that you both make the cake together. Your friend can see what you want to do and decide if they want to join in.
A proposal can also be like a story you tell. You have a beginning, middle, and end, and you tell it to someone to see if they like it. Maybe you want to have a big playdate with friends. You tell them all the fun things you plan to do, like playing games and eating snacks. This is your proposal to have a fun day together.
