Teaching kids chess.

Well if the kids know the basic movements, it becomes a what to do next game.
Often they move fast (the first thing that comes to mind, or keep playing irrelevant pieces).
due to a short attention span, they start to do other things
Kids dont like to be silent as older players, its not in their nature . 
If you are a teacher for a small OTB (on the board club), then the next thing might be fun:

Divide the group of kids into 2 or 4 groups.
Give each group a board.
Per board, they play on the same color. (so 2 or 3 kids who play as black).
It is team against team (allow them to talk (softly so the other won't hear).
And let them as a team discuss what their next move will be.
When a team makes a move let them announce it in short notation.
Optionally let them write it down as well ( more advanced lessons ).
If the game doesn't end don't worry (or take a photo for the next training and continue).

What they learn in a playful way
They learn notation by speaking their moves aloud
They learn tactics planning from each other and thereby learn other ideas.
They spend more time per move (as they all need to agree on it).
As a focused group, they can discuss and think longer about their moves.
As a teacher, you will see way better openings (it surprised me),
Kids like it.

When they have different ideas of what to move (as a teacher you might help slightly) let them vote. Or let them take turns. Turns can be good when one kid is leading the team too much, and others don't get into it. However, I've noticed they all get into it and have their ideas.

One could also let them write down the game.
(be it through that young kids are poor writers, bring pens instead of pencils (they break).



further training ideas :
- If this goes well, one might let them play just a game purely from notations.
   Seek out some basic good games (within their level range) Don't say who won.
   Just let them play it out (they don't play themselves) though this a notation exercise.

- If there is a chess prodigy kid, Let him play against a team alone.
  As a teacher, you could also play against the teams with as many teams as you like.

If the game doesn't finish
- Don't worry if the game doesn't finish, they have analyzed all kinds of moves.
   Essentially that's the main goal of teaching chess to get aware of moves to improve play.
- One could decide the winner based on who took the most, though it's better to call it a draw.
- Or tell them they just played a great opening.
- One might continue next time (though then you need to be sure they all attend).
  (take a photo of the board, their notation writings might not be that readable...).
