The owner of the Studio I teach in wants me to do a 6 week "Little Ninjas" class. This will be a 30 minute class 1 day per week for kids 3-6 years old. My question is what should I cover in this class?
I'm thinking
- Stranger Danger
- Situational awareness
- Focus
- Discipline
- Basic TKD Movements and theories
- Physical coordination
Anything I should add or drop?

At that age? Tell an adult if you need the toilet!
Sorry I can't be more helpful.1 -
We do all sorts of animal movements with the kids (OK we use most of them with the adults too) which help make the movements in warmup fun. Bonus, they mostly help with BJJ.0

Our dojo has a pee wee class for that age group. They do a lot of obstacle courses and circuit training using simple movements. The kids have short attention spans so any talks need to be very short. They had a blast punch a piece of paper (teaching control as they were not allowed to tear the paper)1

We have a similar class twice a week as well, and do similar to what Versicolour describes.
We focus on attention/respect by starting the class with bowing, and jumping jacks. Followed by some light line drills or obstacle courses, and usually ending with punching and kicking a paper target.2
