One more thought -- if you're working with kids, practice up on some nursery rhymes and children's songs. I like to play a highly ornamented version, then simplify until the kids eyes get big and they recognize the tune. "Old McDonald had a farm", "Mary had a little lamb", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Three Blind Mice" are all good candidates for this, I'm sure you'll find your own favorites, too.
