Cut several kite shapes out of wallpaper samples. Laminate or cover with
clear contact paper. Cut the kites in half the long way and mix up. The
children can take turns putting the kites back together. Have the
children pair up. In each pair have one child pretend to be the kite and
the other child pretend to be the kite flyer. Have the kite flyers reel
out their kites and move them up and down and back and forth. Then have
them reel in their kites and trade places with their partners.
