Is there anything you want to share?

[Silverobama]

Is it natural to ask a group of children the question "Is there anything you want to share?" at a kids' English club at the very beginning of the session if I want them to share some interesting stories or things took place in their lives in the past week (The club meets once a week)? And maybe one of them will raise their hand and say "Yes, I want to share....".

It sounds natural to me.
I may say "Does any one of you have something to share?", though.

It's okay, but I think "would like to" would be better than "want".

The first sentence is too long. There's no need to say "I want to share" if someone does have something to share.

Note my changes above.

Your question is natural although it doesn't entirely make it clear that you're talking about stories from the preceding week. I might be clearer and say "Does anyone want to share something that's happened to them in the last week/since we last met?"

As a learner, don't try to start sentences with "and" or "but".
An ellipsis is three dots with a space at the start.

"Does anyone want to share something that's happened to them in the last week/since we last met?"

Much appreciated. Does this "them" refer to "him" or "her"? I was talking to a group of kids and wondered if some of them would like to share their stories of the past week. Will it be better if I say ".... happened to you....?"

Using "them" means "all of you". It goes with "anyone". It wouldn't be natural to say "Would anyone like to share something that happened to you ...?"

I expect they all know what you mean by 'share'. When I was teaching we used to say 'tell us about'. Sharing only meant dividing something up into small pieces so everybody could have a bit.

Assuming "dividing something up into small pieces" entails using a knife, a child will not normally bring a knife to a kids' English club. I suppose so.

There's no reason to assume that a knife is needed. I can divide something up into small pieces with my hands or with a stick or using a spoon etc. This has nothing to do with the thread anyway, because the OP used "share" and everyone knows what that means.
