Giving away phone

Hi, my little cousin wants to buy my iPhone 11 and I’m all for it. I recently bought an iPhone 8 Plus to replace the iPhone 11 and was wondering:

1.) Before I give my cousin my iPhone 11, do I have to remove the sim-card?

2.) If I leave the sim-card can Verizon clear my phone number from the sim-card and upload her number?

3.) Can an iPhone 11 sim-card work in an iPhone 8 Plus without any complications?

4.) Can an iPhone 6s sim-card work in an iPhone 11 without any complications?

I’m currently with Verizon and don’t want to change my services. Im just trying to find the easiest way to have both our phone numbers activated on the right phones..

Any information is helpful!!!

If you want to use the number in another iPhone/Phone, you will have to remove and get another SIM for this iPhone
I don't think you can use the same SIM and activate another Phone number. Not addressing e-SIM
Yes it will work. Both iPhone 8+ and iPhone 11 use nano SIM cards. Hence there won't be an issue
