In the olden days, somehow the 11 year-olds found a way to get together and play. They'd be gone all day and get back around supper, a little dirty and tired.
In modern times kids don't always think of this on their own, nor do they have much of an idea of what to do if they are together with age mates. Parents seem to know about organizing 'playdates' for little kids, but I think it might only be grandparents who can tutor an 11 year-old on how to just go out and play.
Good luck! And may the force be with you!
