Many years ago, Ralph Sweet told me that teaching a hey is easy if you've done a full chain prior to the hey. If it's the most typical design- women pass right shoulders to begin- the path for the women is exactly the same as a chain, without using hands. The men wait 2 counts, and then follow the women.
If necessary, you can let the women walk the hey alone first, then have them men walk their part, and put it together. I've had no problems teaching a hey as long as I've taught the chain before.
