What's the difference between swap, move and replace?

My friend asked me if I knew of any classroom games for kindergarten.

I told her to put some school supplies on the desk and ask the students to close their eyes. Then, she has to switch two items and ask them to open their eyes and tell her which ones she moved.

Is move the right verb here?

Imagine the items are lined up like this on the desk.

Pen. Pencil. Book. Ruler

Pencil. Pen. Book. Ruler

What have I done with/to the pen and the pencil here?

I think this is something basic that I don't know. Where do you learn confusing stuff like this as a learner? It's the first time that I've ever had to use this concept, although it sounds like a common thing.
