Please consider taking these kids plinking at the first opportunity (assuming parental permission). I've taught many of my kid's friends how to shoot. Many develop a passion. Many are willing to defend that passion at the ballot box.
A lot of kids don't understand economics, are open-minded about gays, abortion, etc. Give them a passion for firearms and you'll create young Republicans (or at least Libertarians). One thing for sure, they will NOT vote for the gun-grabber party. This "single-issue" was enough for me personally 25 years ago and still counting.
As always, make sure safe handling is the priority.

Good advice.
I plan to take my grandson to the range this spring - if I can persuade his mother.
