Do you know how to fly a kite? Do you know how to make a kite? Can you describe the shapes of kites? Today, people all over the world make and fly kites for fun.
Kites were the first flying machines. People in China used kites as fly machines more than 2000 years ago. In Marco Polo’s report, the Chinese used big kites to carry people up into the sky.
The idea of kites helped people to make planes. In 1894 in Australia, Lawrence Hargrave made four very big kites. These four kites lifted him 5 metres into the air. Today, the wings of planes are just like kites.
Now people around the world use kites in festivals. Kites can have all kinds of colors and shapes, but the most important thing is to fly well.
