Use your own experiences. You have down that you have 24-49 dives. What cool or interesting things have you seen? You can use the time honored adage that we know more about the other planets than we do about what's in our oceans. If you can, get the kids involved. Ask them questions, get a discussion started. Bring some of your gear (if you have any or can borrow some from the local dive shop)as props. You'd be surprised how quickly it wakes them up if you have an "accidental" free flow of your regulator
. Explain to them the opportunities for local as well as exotic diving. Oh, yes! also have a display of pictures, pictures & more pictures! Try to use as many of your own pictures (if you have any). Those seem to mean more. Just let your passion for diving & the fun it can be, shine out. If time & circumstance allow, let them see & touch the equipment. Let them feel the difference between a thin & thick wet suit. Let them look at the instrument console & (if you have one) a dive computer. Just have fun with it & the the kids will have fun. Good luck to you.

I second the above- tell and touch is the thing.
By now, they've all seen the stuff on TV, but touching it is very different.
How about a mask, a bunch of towels (and a plastic sheet) and a small wash bucket with toy fishies on the bottom. Nothing beats your first look through a mask!
Bring a six pound leads weight. That is pretty graphic.
