Think of Congress like a big classroom where the grown-ups make rules for everyone to follow. Just like your teacher helps decide what games to play or when to have snack time, Congress decides on important things like how to keep people safe or how to spend money for schools and parks. In this classroom, there are two big groups: the Senate and the House of Representatives. They have to work together, like a team, to make sure the rules are fair and good for everyone.
Another way to understand Congress is like a recipe book for a big family dinner. Each person has their own ideas about what to cook and how to make it taste the best. The Senate and the House of Representatives are like the chefs who discuss and decide which ingredients to use. They have to agree on the recipe before they can start cooking.
Finally, imagine Congress as a puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle represents different ideas and needs of the people. The Senate and the House of Representatives work together to fit all the pieces correctly to complete the picture, making sure everyone is happy with the final result.
