I've never lead a walk for a group of kids, but i can share some ideas that
helped me get my grand kids hooked:
before you start your walk, show the kids pictures of what they can expect
to see -- maybe even get them competing on who finds what first.
this has nothing to do with actual birding, but a game my 8 yr old grandson
loves is "guess what bird i'm thinking of". The guessers ask questions
about size, color, location, etc. to get clues.
also, point out sounds to them: my 3 yr old grand knows when her cardinal
calls, and loves the idea that cat birds sound like cats.
Have fun!!!
