To fly your kite, ask a friend to hold your kite
facing into the wind. You will then need to run into the wind as
they let go of the kite. The kite should then be carried up into
the air by the wind. When it's flying, tug at the string of the
kite and then let it go again - this will help it fly even higher.
Keep doing this until it is as high as you want. Make sure you don't
run out of string though!
When you have flown your kite a few times, think
about how you could make it fly higher, or fly better when there
isn't much wind. Would it help if the kite was lighter or heavier?
Does it make a difference if the plastic on the kite is stretched
more tightly? What if you use a shorter tail, or even no tail?
