I think just some basic stories. Many children's books are entirely in the simple present tense. Try baby books or easy readers. Hilight the verbs and demonstrate in class. Have you heard of Total Physical Response Storytelling? It's a fantastic way to teach languages.
Don't listen to the jerks who answered this question. I am a teacher and know where you're coming from. I can't believe some people act like such idiots! Hey, tarotpete, check your example sentence. You need to remove the "a" for it to make sense! LMAO! Nice! And bo_hic_a, if you think teachers are overpaid, why don't you try it? We'll see if you last five minutes in front of a classroom full of teenagers!
Good luck!

Why did the school system put an unqualified individual in the position of teaching this class?. Why don't you know how to teach? My tax dollars at work?
Don't you mean they are beginners?
Following is an example of present tense: You are a not worth your paycheck.

Depends on their natibe language. But start with explaining time to them i.e. clocks, night & day, and etc. Once you have that reference, start asking them to write a paragraph on what they did yesterday, the day before, an hour ago, and etc. Once you have that reference, you're almost there. :-)
