Sorry for late response. England Hockey have a primary school game called QuickSticks for 7-11 year olds. There is an online course that is free, explain rules how to play etc. and this will help you deliver sessions. On their website there's also rule sheets and other resources for the children to read.There is also the option to buy equipment such as sticks and balls specific to their game, and buy session plans of their website.So I suggest going on their website and this should be extremely helpful.
