Let’s Go Fly A Kite

“Let’s go fly a kite, up to the highest heights, let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring!”

Don’t we all love to fly kites?!? It is so fun watching a dragon an airplane or even just a normal kite soaring through the air! This month is National Kite flying month and I would like to share with you the history of the kite.

No one really knows the exact date and origin of the kite,but some people believe that they were flown in China more than two thousand years ago. For thousands of years kites have explored the heavens of many nations of the world. They have been used for pastimes and amusements for young and old alike. Many people enjoyed them and many people still do today. Kite flying is a cultural hobby and enjoyed in many communities all over the world.

Here are some tips for kite flying:

1. Make sure that it is a windy day. If there is a flag near by look at it and if it is gently flapping then it is a good day for kite flying, but if it is moving rapidly then I suggest that you not fly your kite that day.
2.If you want to fly a kite, make sure there are no buildings, trees, or power lines nearby.
3. Do not fly it in a thunderstorm or when it is raining.
4. The best place to fly your kite, is in a large open open field.

Another good point is, that before you put your kite in the air, make sure there aren’t any holes or other tripping hazards ahead of you. That way when you start to run and have your kite take off you won’t trip over anything.
