Filed Trip-Fly a kite

About flying kite Flying kite is a great fun, especially together with kids. Getting it off the ground isn’t as easy as it seems. The wind conditions, the shape of the kite, the exact place etc., play very important roles when you fly a kite., Anyway, the most important factor is still the right technique. Important things about flying kite Before you flying the kite, you have to keep some things in mind, which are as follows: 1. The perfect kite

You can choose different kites from many varieties of designs. You can even make a kite with kids at home. Generally speaking, the standard kites are great for beginners.

2. The ideal weather conditions

The weather condition can make or break your plan of flying kites with children. If the weather is breezy, but not enough to bowl you over, then it’s the perfect time for flying kites. With a nice breeze, your children can make the kite soar and dance. Ensure that you fly in safe conditions, with no lightning or rains.

3. The right place

As important, it is to pick the right kite and ideal weather condition, it is equally important to select the right place for setting the kite soaring in the sky. When it comes to flying kites, more room equals to more fun. Parks, beaches, fields are the best bet. Trees are harmless, but they ‘eat’ kites. So the fewer, the better. Make sure that your kid does not fly the kites near power lines or roads.

Step-By-Step Instructions for flying a kite a) The person holding the kite is called the ‘launcher’, and the person flying the kite is the ‘flier.’ The launcher’s back should be towards the wind, with the kite facing him. If the wind is behind the kite, it will crash. And do not launch the kite while running as the kite can crash due to uncontrolled tugging. b) Move around 20 meters away from the kite. There should not be any obstacle from where you set off the kite. Release the kite, wait for the gust of wind before taking off. c) It’s all up to your kid now. As you release the kite, your child should pull the string to provide some friction. d) Your kid has to pay attention to the direction of the wind. If the direction of the wind changes, he’ll have to adapt to it. You both just have to arrange yourselves so that the wind blows from the Flier to the Launcher. This way, the wind will go in a straight line from the Flier to the Launcher. Even your little one will be able to fly for a longer time. e) Now tell your kid to release the length of the flying line. And carefully monitor the end of the string. If the kite is weak, the line will come off the bridle, resulting in losing the kite. f) Now ask him to pull the string to lower the kite and wrap the line around the coil, just how it started. Family Fun: Flying Kites Mom: It is a bright sunny day. Let us go to the park to fly our kite. We can buy a new and beautiful kite, then fly it in the park. It is better find a big field, with lots of grass and flowers.
Alvin: It is brilliant. I like flying kite.
M: Before that, we need to prepare something for our trip. Can you help Mom?
A: Yes, I want to bring some milk and snacks.
M: Okay. Also remember to bring water, fruit and maybe we can bring our badminton together.
A: Do not forget the blanket and tent.
M: Our tent looks so small. Anyway, we keep bring it also.
M: Alvin, we cannot play kite here. Do you see these wires? It is dangerous.
A: Where we fly our kites?
M: Find a place free of trees, trees like eating kite. Find a large and open area, more space, more fun.
A: There is big wind here.
M: The kite will not fly if there is not any wind. No matter how fast you run. We just have to wait, until the wind picks up a bit.
M: Daddy is good at flying kites. Ask Daddy to teach you, he will show you how to fly.
M: Stand upwind and tighten the kite line. When the wind blows, lift the kite up and push it up into the air. You need to pull the string and run with the wind. Once the wind speed reaches a certain point, the kite will soar upwards.
D: I will hold the kite, you hold the ball of string and run in that direction.
D: I will let go of the kite when I think it’s ready.
M: Alvin, you slowly let the string out, then release the string a little more. If there is enough wind, your kite will fly.
M: Run with the kite behind you until the wind lifts it. Then repetitively tug the string toward yourself, so the kite will climb.
A: Look, the kite is flying.
M: Keep an eye on your kite.
A: Mom, my kite cannot fly very high.
M: Run as fast as you can and tighten the string, do not lose the string too long.
A: It is not a good day to fly kite today, there is no more wind.
M: It seems right, only a little bit wind, then the fly cannot soar into the air.
A: Gosh, it bumps on the branches, I cannot get it off.
M: I told you just now, get rid of the trees. Tress like eating kite. Daddy will help you to get back the kite from the tree. Remember not to run around the trees.
A：Can we fly the kite next time when we have a really windy day?
M: Of course, let us expect such a good day to fly the kite again.
