I agree with the general comments...I've been involved in a number for primary schools...please keep your sense of humour and don't take anything that you aren't prepared to get dirty...
Moon and Planets are great targets...Bright DSO only (don't try the faint stuff) a double star is kind of fun too...
Remeber in this instance "less is truly more"...make it simple and sharp...
A small step stool is essential (IMO) and enough supervison of adults to keep everyone in line...
I've found kids much younger than year 1 (there are exceptions) are difficult...but craters on the moon are always cool.
While hectic, they are still lots of fun because you'll see that spark and interest in things astronomical get started in someone that night...and that for me is part of the fun.
