I teach magic during the summer to kids in a day camp. I clearly stated before the summer that I can not teach any kids younger than 2nd grade, but somehow they forgot about that and I have on my schedule 5 groups (sizes ranging from 10-25 kids) of first graders that I need to teach (each group comes for 40 min) and they can't change the schedule until NEXT week.
I am teaching the other kids (2nd grade and up) the Criss-Cut-Force and so far it has gone over well, but I feel first graders are way too young for that and can't even hold the deck for more than a few seconds before loosing cards.
So what I need is ONE (or more) trick(s) that I can teach these first graders. Something that will take about 30-40 min to teach and that they won't think is boring or "too stupid."
Can anyone help me?
TIA,
