Rivers and streams are both waterways, but rivers are bigger. Imagine a stream like a small path in the forest, where water trickles gently over rocks and leaves. A river is more like a wide, powerful road where water flows quickly and strongly, sometimes even carrying boats or fish.
Examples
- A stream is like a small creek you might jump over in the woods.
- A river is like the mighty Mississippi that boats sail on.
- You can walk through a stream but would need a boat to cross a river.
