Maybe for the kids who are more into MC'ing and also Production you could show them how to construct basic loops to get started, and maybe by the end of a 'lesson' try and get some sort of simple tune with lyrics made. Or maybe make your own loops so they can mix and match various instruments.

For the more DJing interested kids try using some sort of interactive activity to show the basics of beatmatching, as watching 1 person could get boring. Most of them will be there to want a go on some decks so it's probably really important that everyone gets a little slot.

You could either make it a sort of laissez-faire club with music in the background and setting a vibe for kids to hang out, or get more involved in structure. Either way you have to avoid it turning into what looks like a school lesson cos kids don't dig that yo.

Let us know how it goes! Sounds interesting yet challenging.
