Objective
This game gives the children experience with using the wind. They must also run fast to catch the ‘kite’ (plastic bag) up in the air.
Instructions
- Tie a string to the bag and make a loop at the other end to hold the string firmly.
- The children hold the string, run as fast as they can trying to get the kite to fly.
- Talk about: When does the kite fly the highest? Do we have to wait for the wind?
Tips
- Preferably, try the kite on different days, e.g. days when there is no wind, and on very windy and less windy days. Reflect with the children on what happens to the kite on the various days.
