A lesson in Israel is something like this:

1. general warmup
2.specific warmup
3. combatives
4. review of a previous technique plus its conection with the one that its going to be teached
5. new technique
6. cool down and stretching

Drills are part of any of the above.

why not to teach kids? Eli Avikzar said “Every boy and girl should know to defend themselves”
As DoubleStrike said you should stick to the basics, palm strikes, kicks, etc, and with techniques suitable for kids for example instead of a groin kick you should go for a kick to the shins..
i have been training my kids since they where 4 how?.. just their reflexes, it is not about hitting other kids its about not being hit or attacked.. so i work a lot of inside and outside defenses with them making it a game of course, i work a lot of situational awarness, playing memory games and such, there are a lot of resources out there… you should concentrate in gross movements not in techniques, for example when they defend a choke or a headlock focus in the fact that the elbows are close to the body like as if they where tryng to hit their belly button this way they work with the weight of their body against the choke not the strength they might have… if you work with body hugs, you should focus in space and base not in the rear elbows o hitting the groin.. you should also reinforce body languaje, assertivity and the use of their voice; this has worked for me and my kids i hope it helps you..

i dont know if this thread is still available, but you might try block or stop kicks, we use them in Israeli Krav Magen, if your timing is right they are very efective and the less painful of them all
