Thumbs up to all previous suggestions!
A green laser pointer is an ideal (and impressive) way to make sure everyone is actually looking at the things you're describing. Not sure if it's 'legal' in your State.
Worth pointing out the apparent path of the Sun and planets and thus the visible Zodiac constellations. It's interesting for some to actually see 'their sign' in the night sky.
Certainly worth checking 'Heavens Above' to choose a date when there's an ISS pass. Any of the other brighter satellites will be a big hit.
A modern phenomenon: nearly everyone wants to take a view through the eyepiece with their phone. This can hold up proceedings ... I don't have any advice about this, maybe someone else can comment?
