We know that when you are putting on programs for families in an after school or evening setting, you will likely need to group kids of different ages together.  We recommend, if possible, using:

-The first chart of materials for groups of younger children, approximately ages 4-8;  note that you can always simplify your lessons or make them more complex depending on the dynamics of your group.

-The second chart of materials is for slightly older children, approximately ages 9-12; note that you can always simplify your lessons or make them more complex depending on the dynamics of your group.
