kite How to make your own kite in French

One class made the kite in the Teacher’s Manual in a session where they all spoke French to give instructions, and to ask for materials and tools.,

They then looked for other designs to experiment with, in a bid to find the best kite.

One success was a design from a kite school in Hawaii . Using a sheet of A4 photocopy paper per kite, it offered - "20 kites for 20 kids in 20 minutes - Uncle Jonathan's easiest classroom kites ever!" -
