Let's learn what a drought is and how it relates to the story.

For a plant to grow, it needs water, sunshine, and dirt.  If it doesn’t have any one of these things, it will probably not grow.  A drought is when there is not enough rain for the plants to grow.  Sometime a drought can last for years.  This is bad, because people grow plants for food, like potatoes, corn and tomatoes.

This story of Elijah happens during a drought, which is why everyone is so worried about where they will get food.

Let's plant a garden!  Draw a big square of dirt where you are going to plant your garden.  Also draw a house if you want.  Now, draw three plants you want to grow in your garden in your big square of dirt.

What will you need to make sure the plants grow?  Draw some clouds that are raining on the plants.  Also draw the sun shining on the plants.
