Salam brother,
How about stories of the prophets lifes ? (Hayat ul Ambiya)
It always seems to inspire children plus it teaches them Duas and the prophet's Dua are the best.

I teach my kids about Islam and I cover the following lessons:
1. The Story of Adam and Eve. Kids learn about Iblis, the evil character...... always good to have the evil character in your story..... it fascinates the kids. Also an opportunity to convey to the kids what an enemy Shaytan is.
2. The Story of Musa. Kids learn about the wonders of God. I let my kids watch The Prince of Egypt. There's that beautiful scene when Musa parts the sea and I love to tell the kids about how powerful God is to do something like that. I also inform them of the differences between Christian and Islamic versions of the story.
3. The things that Shaytan hates and the things that Shaytan loves. This makes a very interesting exercise for the kids. I also make them write out a list. And then I make some rounded cards with the words "Shaytan Hates Me." And I tell them that they will get this "reward" only if they do the things that Shaytan hates..... things such as cleanliness, obeying mom, doing your prayer.... lol.
4. A class session where kids answer the following questions:
a. Can you see God? Then why do you believe in God? Because mommy and daddy told you to believe it?
b. What are the problems you will face when you grow up?
c. What are the things you thank God for the most?
It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
Re: Need help in choosing topics to teach youngsters
Kids like stories so, I agree with the stories of the Prophets and Messengers (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all) too and try to be so excited and enjoyable that would attract them to listen more and wait for the next story impatiently...May Allah be with you and May he reward ya my respecetd brother with the highest level of the Paradise without being reckoning and all the Ummah too Ameeeeeeeen

Re: Need help in choosing topics to teach youngsters
Assalaamu Alaykum,
Some ideas:
History - stories of prophets/companions The 5 pillars of Islam The 6 pillars of eemaan Islamic character/behaviour/manners - could include advice about friendships with opposite gender, hijab etc. Qur'an - history, preservation, virtues, miracles, facts
