A bit of an open ended question really as things can differ so much, dependant on the age / ability of you audience. My first idea was to search on Google using 'teach children electronics' which did bring up ideas. One thing I think about is - Are the students building the things or are you doing so in front of them with explanation? Don't forget that soldering is dangerous so it would be risky for normal students. What are the limitations you are under? Simple circuits on solderless breadboard? Keep it simple and have spares in case of failures is a very good idea. I remember when working where we had to give presentations. Entire system redundancy was, in my opinion, essential as the saying goes 'If it can fail, it will!'.That said, the sort of things which interest students are those which have stimulating output. Light / sound / momement etc. Light operated switch, controlling a relay to turn something on / off? The energy sources - battery? solar? dynamo? There are lots more. In my opinion a good learning experience for them will be an even better for you. Good luck.
