One thing I enjoy most about working with kids is:
One thing I often find can be a challenge when working with groups of kids:
You are one of two instructors for a group of fifteen 8 year old kids. The kids are playing in a redwood forest picnic area that has barbecue pits. Five of them want to play tag, two of them that are knife certified want to carve sticks into points with their knives, three of them want to make forts in the the redwood trees and two have to go to the bathroom. What are some safety concerns you might have? What will you do with them next?
