Fun is where it's at with kids. I teach 6-13 year olds and if they are having fun taking pictures of things they enjoy they tend to stay at it longer. Then find the chances to sneak in the tech. stuff. They learn composition after the fact and from watching you and others. My son has learned more at a museum, watching football, and looking at my pictures then I could have taught him in the field. When in the field let them experiment and do what they enjoy. He'll start asking "How do you do that? soon enough.

There's been some great stuff here, thanks a lot. I went out with my son yesterday and just let him shoot. I taught him how to put yourself in the best position to get the shot.....even if it means bending a few rules. We snuck under a fence near the resivoir to get close to a big Beaver Dam. Had fun looking at the trees that had been knawed off. Slipped in a little bit about shutter speed when I saw some moving water. All in all a good day.
