If you want to reach these kids directly, show them a video of Sunny Girl 
playing harmonica (available as part of SPAH - blues blow off videos in 98 - 
2000). She is 7 - 9 years old on these videos.

As an adult teaching children, there will alway be a generation gap. However, 
when kids watch one of their contemporaries performing, it is a direct link 
to their core and they will relate immediately on a personal level.
