What are thames?

Thames are rivers, but not just any rivers, they’re big ones that help cities grow and people live happily.

Imagine you're playing in a puddle, but instead of being just a little puddle, it's like a river that goes all the way from one end of your neighborhood to another. That’s what the Thames is, a big, flowing river that helps London, a city with lots of people and buildings, stay alive and busy.

How Thames Work

The Thames starts high up in the countryside and flows down to the sea. It's like when you pour water from a tall glass into a smaller one, it moves along the way, bringing water and even boats with it.

People use the Thames for many things: they drink the water, they fish in it, and even have parties on big boats that float on top of it. It’s like a superhighway for water, and sometimes people too!

Sometimes, the Thames gets busy, just like when you're playing with your friends at recess, lots of things happening all at once!Thames are rivers, but not just any rivers, they’re big ones that help cities grow and people live happily.
