Math works well with the kids. I write "1 + 1 = 2" and say "simple", then write the quadratic equation and say "not simple".

Or, if one of the kids is Eliezer Yudkowsky, you can write Maxwell's equations and say "simple", then write a program simulating Thor and say "not simple".

So, simple is a type of equation?

Jokes aside, that's an excellent answer.
