Kites, Chalk and Parachutes

Flickr - chalk in motionBring your kids down to Pic­nic Point this after­noon for a day of fun in the sun. Man­hat­tan Youth will be teach­ing kids the art of fly­ing a kite. The stel­lar views and con­stant breeze are sure to make for some fan­cy fly­ing. And if kites aren’t your thing, then pick up a stick of mul­ti-col­ored chalk and prac­tice your draw­ing skills! There will be chalk pro­vid­ed and tons of pave­ment to use as a can­vas. After fly­ing kites and draw­ing in chalk it will be time to play some para­chute games. Every­one will stand in a cir­cle wav­ing a para­chute up and down. There is more to this game, but you’ll have to come out here to find out! So if you’re look­ing for a fun Fri­day activ­i­ty, why not come out to Gov­er­nors Island?
