Get set to feel the wind in your face, the line in your hand, and the liberating feeling one gets when flying a kite. It’s National Kite-Flying Day after all. Did you know kites have a lot to do with lift, thrust, drag, and wind pressure? Probably not. It’s ok.
On February 8 simply grab a kite and some string to get started. Then, find an open field, start running, and hope for the best. Oh, and pray for wind.
Go fly a kite (naturally)Make sure to share your kite-flying experience on social media using the hashtag #NationalKiteFlyingDay.
Watch “Mary Poppins”. The song “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” comes at the end of the film when George Banks discovers what’s really important in life.
Throw a make-your-own-kite party. Buy the necessities: wooden sticks, paper, plastic or fabric, glue, and string. Also get some fun decorations like glitter, ribbons, and stickers. When the kite-making is over, gather everyone outside and let their creations fly.
