I love this activity. It is a very creative way to get children interested in writting. This is a really good activity to do in the summer for the simple fact that the children can relate to it better during the time that they may be flying kits. This can be presented to them before flying a kite in the summer and they can think about how they would answer some of the questions as they are flying a kite.
