Default Sailplane video for children

"The Boy Who Flew With Condors" is good for children if a little
dated.

"Windborn - A Journey into Flight" is also good. About a teenage girl
learning to fly. It is too long to hold children's attention for long
so it would need to be edited down to a few key segments.

There are a myriad of YouTube videos which could be good/short/
entertaining. I have done two things with these to be able to show
them on a laptop. 1) Have an Internet connection, and a PC connected
to a TV. Many/most classrooms have this. Sign into your YouTube
account and create a Playlist of your favorite videos. OR 2) load Real
Player which allows you to download YouTube videos to your laptop.
Then show them.

These are suitable for a TV but not really for a projector. Here are
some videos that I like;

Good luck. Report back how it went and what you did.
