Windy day ideas

Go outside on windy days and encourage children to run with streamers, listen and observe the wind using chimes, feathers and leaves or blow bubbles.

  • Make windmills with the children and experiment in different areas your home to see where they spin the fastest
  • Use and make different-shaped kites and watch the movements they make as they fly.
  • Explore the sound of the wind with a wind chime that can be hung on a tree branch or outside  where it will catch the wind;or make your own wind chime using a hanger and attach objects such as metal spoons, bells, cans and other recyclables
  • Create more interesting sounds with your own instruments made from recyclables
  • Provide scarves and streamers in your windy day resource box  for your child at home to hold and to run with them behind them to catch the wind.
  • Explore the visual effects created by the wind by hanging streamers or ribbons inside and outside your home.
  • Record the sounds and sights of a windy day, by using a video recorder or your phone
  • Play a selection of different wind music and dance along to it, mimicking a leaf in the wind
