HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each player a kite and enough open space to launch without tangling lines with others.

2

On the signal, all players run or use the wind to get their kite airborne as quickly as possible.

3

The first player to get their kite flying steadily above a marked height, such as above a rooftop line or tall pole, scores a point for that round.

4

Once airborne, players can also compete in a second round to see whose kite can stay aloft the longest without crashing.

5

Play multiple rounds and add up points across both the launch race and the endurance round to find an overall winner.
