Let’s go fly a kite

What you need

Your listening ears.

Benefits

Music and interaction with your little one supports language acquisition and helps with speech development. Your child will further develop their listening and attention skills while interacting with others and learning.

The experience

In a nice and cosy corner in your home, sit comfortably and listen to this wonderful song, ‘Let’s go fly a kite’ from the Walt Disney movie, ‘Mary Poppins’. If your child is able to sit unassisted, encourage them to sit next to you; otherwise, place them on your lap and get ready to fly up into the sky like a kite!

As soon as the song goes ‘..oh oh oh, Let’s go fly a kite..’ fly your baby up in the air to the rhythm of the song and repeat again after the next chorus. 

For older children, why not pretend to be colourful kites flying into the sky instead? 

 

Lyrics:

 

With tuppence for paper and strings
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground
You’re a bird in flight
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite

 

Oh, oh, oh!
Let’s go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

 

When you send it flyin’ up there
All at once, you’re lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze
Over ‘houses and trees
With your fist holding tight
To the string of your kite

 

Oh, oh, oh!
Let’s go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Let’s go fly a kite!
