Feel the Wind Push
Wind is air that is moving. You cannot see air, but you can feel it move.
Try this on a windy day. Hold out your hand. You can feel the wind push on it. That push is the moving air bumping into your hand.
A gentle wind is called a breeze. A breeze feels soft. It might only move a leaf or make your hair tickle your face.
A strong wind pushes much harder. Hold your hand out in a strong wind and it is hard to keep your hand still. The faster the air moves, the harder it pushes.
That is why wind can move so many things. It can push leaves along the ground. It can lift a kite high into the sky. It can make a flag flap and wave. A very strong wind can even push on you when you walk.
