This is one of my favourite Dreamtime stories. I have loved it since I first heard it when I was in primary school, so now I love sharing it with children that I teach. It's a story about a greedy frog Tiddalick, who drank all the water from creeks, rivers and lakes. There was no water left for the other animals in the area and so they have to work together to get the water back.
Most recently, I created a Tiddalick story table based upon the version written by Robert Roennfeldt.
Children put their hand in the back of the box and 'drink' up all the water, by pulling the blue fabric into the box. The animals then try to make Tiddalick laugh, eventually succeeding and Tiddalick laughs the water back out.
All set up, ready for play and re-telling.
And after...
