Default Teaching children to quilt

I was recently asked to teach a group of 6 children 12-15 yrs how to quilt. I'm concerned with the rotary cutting.
I was thinking it might be safer to have the squares cut for them I'd like to teach them all the basics.
I suppose I could demonstrate the rotary but have them draw around the ruler and cut on the lines with scissors. Thought I'd start with a 9 patch or disappearing 9 patch (depending on the age). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
