I will use a telephone as examples here:

DHCP is like when you get a new phone with a new phone number that is only good for the life of the phone. When the phone dies you get another one and a new number for people to call you at. Except it is for your computer. DHCP is just changing your number where you call and get calls at. Just for your computer.

IPV6 is the phone number. Just you computer network cards phone number.
