I All,

I need some advise. I live in Ireland and I am going to start activity classed for small children to give them some introduction to our Indian values, culture and some knowledge of religion and moral education. I am just confuse about the age group of the children like how young the kids should be and how older in a group? Do u think if an age group of 5-15 will be good for this or it should be something else? Any suggesions...

I suggest you follow other regular camps and how they separate their age groups.

Some do this:

4 - 10/10 - 13

while others do

3 - 6, 7 - 9, 10 - 12, 13 - 14

As you are starting an activities class that involves culture, values, and moral education, the activities that a 5 year old would enjoy, would most likely NOT be enjoyable by a 15 year old full into puberty. I'd try to separate it out if I could.

I agree.. definitely break down the age groups. Attention span, interests, and abilities of your 5-7 year olds are going to be vastly different from your 13-15 year olds for example.

One suggestion, try to make the activities, and lessons from them, as relative to the age group as possible. Real life examples and situations that they can relate to will not only hold their interest more, but also help them to retain the information better.
