  2. I am a F _ _ _ Long ago in the Dreamtime, Tiddalik, the largest frog ever known, awoke one morning with a huge thirst. He started to drink and drank until there was no fresh water left in the world. Colouring In Image Retrieved From: http://coloringpages.blog138.fc2.com/blog-category-2.html

  3. WHICH IS THE BIGGEST? We took a photo, and can’t remember who is who. Can you match the names to the frogs? Remember – who is the BIGGEST FROG in the WORLD Kermit DerGlumph Tiddalik Mr. Thomas Frog

  4. What does Tiddalik drink? This is a natural resource that we get from weather events. Do you know which weather event gives us Tiddalik’s drink?

  5. Full Drying up Empty Long ago in the Dreamtime, Tiddalik, the largest frog ever known, awoke one morning with a huge thirst. He started to drink and drank until there was no fresh water left in the world. Soon creatures everywhere were dying and trees were wilting because of the lack of moisture.

  6. What happens to the trees? What did the tree look like before Tiddalik drank all the water? What did the tree look like after Tiddalik drank all the water? BEFORE AFTER

  7. When all the water has gone, what do we say we are in? DROUGHT

  8. Drought is when we have no? When we are in a drought, we are waiting for which weather event? Circle which weather event we need to relieve the drought. or Images Retrieved From: http://www.clipartpal.com/clipart_pd/weather/rain2.html http://www.bostonbakesforbreastcancer.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/sun.jpg

  9. Laughing means happy Give this frog a happy face. Give the lizard a sad face. Long ago in the Dreamtime, Tiddalik, the largest frog ever known, awoke one morning with a huge thirst. He started to drink and drank until there was no fresh water left in the world. Soon creatures everywhere were dying and trees were wilting because of the lack of moisture. All the animals pondered about their terrible plight until a wise old wombat suggested that if Tiddalik could be made to laugh then maybe all the water would flow out of his mouth. This was a good idea the animals agreed.

  10. The animals gathered by Tiddalik's resting place and tried for a long time to make him laugh, but it was in vain. The kookaburra told his funniest story, the kangaroo jumped over the emu and the lizard waddled up and down on two legs making his stomach stick out but Tiddalik was not amused.

  11. The animals need? Why are the animals “vain”? What do they need? Collect some pictures of what the animals need. (from newspapers, magazines, the internet or draw them if you wish)

  12. Then when the animals were in despair, Nabunum the eel who was driven from his favourite creek by the drought slid up to the unresponsive frog and began to dance. As the dance got faster Nabunum wriggled and twisted himself into all sorts of knots and shapes to the amusement of Tiddalik. Tiddalik's eyes lit up and burst out laughing. As he laughed the water gushed out from his mouth and flowed away to replenish the lakes, swamps and rivers again.

  13. What has Tiddalick done? Tiddalick has let the water out of his belly, to replenish the land. What is the name of this weather event? When there is a lot of rain falling we call this a? _ _ _ _ _ We need rain to feed our rivers and plants. We need sun for them to grow. If we get too much of either, nothing lives or grows.

  14. YOU ARE FINISHED WELL DONE! Let’s help someone else or have some experimental fun!
