Ouiatchouan Falls
At Val-Jalbert, Ouiatchouan Falls rushes down a tall rock face. Its water continues towards Lac Saint-Jean.
Look together
What sound do you imagine the waterfall makes?
An idea to try
Act out three movements of water: a tiny drop, a stream and a big waterfall. Invent a sound for each.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
Ouiatchouan Falls is part of Val-Jalbert's landscape. It is 72 metres high. The site offers several viewpoints and cable-car access to the upper area. Lookouts also offer views of the Lac Saint-Jean landscape. The same waterfall can be seen from different angles.
Help your child distinguish the falling water, rock face and surrounding scenery. A drawing cannot make the waterfall's sound, which gives you a chance to imagine it together. Ask how the image might change if you looked down from above instead of up from below.
