Imagine yourself as a kite. In pairs, first discuss all the following hints. What shape of kite are you? What colours do you have? What other parts of yourself are you happy about? Where are you? Who do you belong to? What activities do you do? Who are your friends? Do you have any message for humans?
Students discuss in pairs about their imaginary kite identity.
Regarding shape, students might describe their kite as diamond, triangle, or butterfly shaped. For colours, they could choose bright or multicoloured designs.
Students consider their kite's parts, such as a long tail, strong spine, and colourful cover.
For location, students imagine their kite flying in the sky or at festivals. The owner might be a child who loves flying kites.
Activities include soaring, dancing with wind, and competing with other kites.
Friends of the kite could include other kites, birds, and clouds.
Finally, students craft a message for humans, such as to enjoy freedom, appreciate nature, and fly high with dreams.
