The Edubuntu DVD sized image come with a fair few applications, maybe boot it up at a live CD/USB and show them what (Ed)Ubuntu has to offer. I doubt they would instantly change over but if they've got some old hardware or interested students, you might get a few takers.
I'd show them LibreOffice, inkscape/gimp, totem/rhythmbox, etc, basic file management in nautilus, and simple stuff how to shut down and change wallpaper. I think you can get the turtle package that does logo "programming".
