Go Fly A Kite
The Goddard School® located in Charlotte, NC, recommends trying new activities with your child!
Kite flying is a great family activity. Make your own or buy one; either way flying a kite is enjoyable for both you and your family. Here are a few kite-flying tips:
Q: What is the best wind to fly a kite?
A: The ideal wind for optimum kite flying is 5 to 25 mph.
Q: How can you make your kite dance?
A: To make your kite dance in the sky – pull in, and let out the line. Repeat this and watch your kite perform!
Q: What is the best flying space for your kite?
A: Your space should be clear and open, giving you enough room to move your kite around. Find a park, a beach or an open field.
Safety Precautions:
- Avoid flying your kite on roads or near power lines and airports.
- Watch out for kite-eating trees! Wind goes over and around trees and buildings so avoid flying your kite near them.
- Never fly a kite during a storm.
