What are some good speech topics for children?

In my college speech class, I’m going to be giving a speech to five children, probably ranging in age from 9 to 12. What would be some good topics that would keep them interested but meet an eight to ten minute time limit?

The importance of reading or education… But not in a preachy kind of way, in a way that provokes thought, but also keeps them somewhat entertained.
