Do not show how to use. Let them find it out by themselves, that's the number one rule with children. They need to be creative with the usages. Even if it's wrong (like using a car to fly around) it's still a discovery process. When I was 15 I got a 486dx. With MSDOS 6.2 and win3.11fwg. without any instructions. There was this one magical folder named Atlantis. With a few files in it. It took me months to find out what it was . I had to learn Windows and DOS and the system, first. This was my first game. And then, I discovered an nfo file in the directory Atlantis :) Give them Simscity and don't Tell them anything about it.
