It's one per day for each Leader!

Heh...so the leader can only "teach" one child per day. Got it.

Does he "teach" a random child no matter who you drop him on? (I ask because when I tried to have him teach a specific child, he just ran away...then the knowledge appeared to be given to a different kid.)

Edited because I cannot spel.

No, as far as my game, the Chief teaches all the children 1x per day. If you drop the Chief (must be adult I think) onto a child, he will go to the amphitheater and teach all the kids. Only some will gain skill.

No!! Sorry!
The leader may teach once a day and no more! He may teach 1 or 100 kids, but once per day.

If he die and you have another one, he's able to teach (and make food... ) even if the other has done it yet.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the help.

You're welcome!

But it's not called Teaching, it's called Lecturing in both cases (at least in my game it is, maybe it's a version difference?)

(The only reason I point it out is so that new players aren't frustrated trying to get their Chiefs to "teach".)

Does anyone elses Chief give a Magic Showwhile he's lecturing? Mine pulls things from his robe and then they dissappear again. Also what is with the kids leaving certain footprints certain places but only sometimes.... Is it after it rains or what?

The "magic show" is opportunities for the kids to learn. It seems to me, each item is representative of the different skill types. If a star twinkles above a childs head during a particular item, they will gain skill in that field. So, if the Chief is showing a baby they will gain in parenting, etc.

About the rain...I don't know. If there is a pattern I haven't noticed and I don't think is effects the game.

Good Luck!
