Sometimes when its windy you might think that its not a good time to go outdoors and play. But when the wind puts on a ’show’, the outdoors can be a very exciting place to be.

City parks are great to explore on windy days.

The wind can be noisy and cold as it howls through the trees, ripping off leaves and branches, blowing things around. But it can also be thrilling and exhilarating as it can take away our voices, blow our hair all over the place and gently push us around. The wind can create different shapes, sounds and colours.

Why not go to a big open park and watch how the wind blows the leaves off the trees and listen carefully - you may even here the wind talking.

Flying a kite is a great thing to do on windy days. But if you find it a bit hard to manage it wind flags are great - they make the movement of the wind much closer and easier for you to control. You can use them for lots of other things - a game of flag raiding where you play with a groups of other kids and try and capture their flags.

You do not need to go far because even in your own backyard you can see how the wind will change things.
