If you're looking for inspiration, the software carpentry lesson on git might be a good starting point:
http://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/

This is meant to fill half a day of an in-person workshop. Software carpentry typically runs as a 2-day workshop over all, with four half-day topics. There's no set order, but there will usually be a section about the shell before starting git. When I've helped with this, I've found the 'Wolfman and Dracula' story a bit annoying, but it avoids tying the lesson to any particular programming language.

I can probably come and lend a hand next Saturday.

Best wishes,
Thomas
