Larry, I used to design training programs, and conduct training classes for a company that makes digital imaging equipment, imagesetters for offset printing, software, etc... In addition to designing the curriculum material, I had to run my classes using that material - I trained technicians in ,and from, a variety of countries. Granted, these were all adults - however, I don't speak any foreign languages fluently, and I had to get local technicians in places like Mexico, Korea, China, Brazil and India to the point that they could do complicated repairs on complicated pieces of equipment, in the shortest amount of time possible. After the first class I taught almost 5 years ago, I figured out that what works best at getting a point across is pictures, in addition to concise, "to-the-point" instructions. I would think that the same principle would work with kids - instructions that are concise and easy to follow, and plenty of illustrations, high-quality photos, etc... Anyhow, that's my suggestion, and the how/why behind it. To sum things up - pictures, pictures, pictures! Best of luck with your project - that really sounds like one that is very worthwhile:thumbup:
