When you think about a balloon, it’s fun to see how big it can get. If you keep blowing air into it, it gets bigger and bigger. But if you blow too much, it can pop! When it pops, it means the balloon has exceeded how much air it can hold.

Imagine you have a cookie jar and you can only fit 10 cookies inside. If you try to put in 12 cookies, the jar will overflow because you’ve exceeded the number of cookies it can hold.

Think of a race, where you have to run as fast as you can. If you run faster than everyone else, you have exceeded their speed. It means you went beyond what they could do.

In a storybook, if the hero is supposed to find 5 treasures but ends up finding 7, they have exceeded the number of treasures they were looking for. It’s like finding more than you expected!

So, when you hear the word exceed, think about going beyond limits, like when a plant grows taller than the fence or when you eat more ice cream than you planned. It’s when something goes further than what was thought possible.
