Hi Gudrun, you’re doing a great job so far, well done.
As far as kits are concerned I think you’ve seen from the answers already that there is no right and wrong to do it. Whatever works best for you.
I’ve always ironed the folds into the top of the bag first and the handles, but it does depend on how many people you have helping you and how many people you are expecting to make a bag. Offcuts way of cutting out the bag from scratch works very well if you have plenty of room and someone to help you.
I usually suggest people pin/ wonder lip handles in place if they’re a beginner as it helps keep fingers away from the needle, but again that is personal preference.
As others have said a good selection of colours / different patterns is usually a good idea, but obviously not always possible.
The main thing to remember is to have fun and enjoy it, and let people learn at their own pace, there’s nothing more off putting than someone standing over you when you’re trying to learn something new.
It’s also an unofficial morsbag tradition for people to ring a bell when they’ve completed a bag :-), it’s a good way of generating interest as people want to know what the bell is for.
It’s also useful to have a few part made bags to hand so people can see each step, as lots of people are visual learners like me.
