Come Fly a Kite

Original Author Unknown

Sung to: “On top of old Smokey”

Oh, come fly a kite, way up in the sky.
Watch it climb so far up, up in the sky.
Oh, come fly a kite, and just watch it sail,
Across the sky, Waving its tail.


I Like Kites

Original Author Unknown

Sung to: “3 Blind Mice”

I like kites, I like kites.
They fly high, they fly high.
They keep on spinning round and round,
Sometimes they even touch the ground,
They fly through the air without a sound.
Oh, I like kites!


Five Little Kites

Original Author Unknown

One little kite in the sky so blue,
Along came another, then there were two.
Two little kites flying high above me;
Along came another, then there were three.
Three little kites, just watch them soar,
Along came another, then there were four.
Four little kites, so high and alive
Along came another, then there were five.
Five little kites dancing across the sky,
What a sight to see, way up so high!


My Kite

Original Author Unknown

Sung to: “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.


Kite Flying

Original Author Unknown

Pick a windy day (flap hands and make wind sound)
Pick a kite that’s gay (use fingers to make a diamond shape)
Send it on its way (lift hands high to hold imaginary string)
Give it lots of play (unwind more string)
Watch it dip and sway (Dip and sway motion with hand and arm)
Don’t let it get away (Pretend to hold the string tight with two hands)


My Striped Kite

Original Author Unknown

Sung to: “Itsy Bitsy Spider”

My blue-and-purple striped kite climbed up into the sky.
Down came the rain, I felt like I would cry.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.
So my blue-and-purple-striped kite climbed into the sky again.


Come Fly a Kite

Kites

Original Author Unknown

Five bright kites I bought at the store. (five fingers)
Along came a strong wind, and now I have four. (thumb)
Four bright kites flying over the sea.
Along came a big wave, and now I have three. (index)
Three bright kites, I’ll give one to you.
Three bright kites, now I have two. (middle finger)
Two bright kites flew too near to the sun.
Poor little kites! Now I have one. (ring down)
One bright kite – that’s enough for me,
I’ll keep it away from the kite – eating tree!


The Kite

Original Author Unknown

See the kite away up high (use one hand as kite sailing, twisting)
Sailing, swooping in the sky.
Twisting and turning and dipping around,
‘Til the wind goes away
And it comes fluttering down. (Hand comes slowly down)
