Kite Fights

Kites need to be strong to stay in the air. The kites are made from strong paper that is stretched over wood. Then kite makers add colorful patterns to the kites.

People at the festival watch the kites fly gracefully in the sky. Teams pull very long ropes to move the kites. Each team tries to make the other kites fall from the sky.

Some kites fall when their ropes break. Others get knocked down by other kites. Who will win?

Teams get ready to fly their kites.

This team waits for its turn to fly their kite.
