Flannel: “Five Little Clouds”
Five little clouds up in the sky,
Drifting, floating way up high.
One disappeared from the sky so blue
When a big gust of wind came blowing through! (make a whooshing sound and remove one cloud)

Repeat, counting down until there are no little clouds.

Book: Kite Day by Will Hillenbrand

Action Rhyme: “The Windmills”
The wind blows high, (wave hands in air over head, make wind sounds)
And the wind blows low. (wave hands close to floor, make wind sounds)
Round and round the windmills go. (roll hands at a medium pace)
Sometimes fast, and sometimes slow. (go really fast, then very slow)
And that is how the wind blows. (wave hands and make wind sounds)

Song: “My Kite” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
My kite is up so high,
My kite is up so high,
Oh my – – just watch it fly,
My kite is up so high.

My kite is falling down,
My kite is falling down,
Oh no – – it’s down so low,
My kite is falling down.

The wind has caught my kite,
The wind has caught my kite,
What fun – – I’m on the run,
The wind has caught my kite.

My kite is up so high,
My kite is up so high,
Oh my – – just watch it fly,
My kite is up so high.
