Hi Elizabeth

I am an Aussie twister, and although not teaching in a formal scenario, or
planing to, I would love to see your lesson plan.
I find that when entertaining "little ones" and their families, I can often
redirect the energies of mischevious older kids by letting them attempt to
blow up their own balloons, and then giving them a few simple lessons, all
while keeping the line moving. This keeps both the moms, and my clients
happy, and it seems that the older kids appreciate being treated as though
they can actually "do something". I can also get a great laugh out of some
of the "unpaid" performances of my new assistants.
So, any hints I could pick up from your lesson plan would be much
appreciated.

Thanks   .....  David Pearson   {aka} Mr. Balloons
