Try the Socratic approach and first introduce some "motion" problem for them to solve on their own, and then explain what it is all about.
I am not sure if this is a good example, but do you know the demonstration where you place a chair in front of a wall, a person is then asked to stand in front of the chair; then they lean forward until there head is against the wall; they are then asked to lift the chair of the ground as high as possible (with head still against the wall), and see if they can return to a standing position. I believe women are able to return to the upright position more so than men because of lower centre of gravity. Might be something worth trying with your students.

Get your kids to move! Have them demonstrate the different types of motion, how it can change, whatever it is you're looking for. Find out what they already know or think they know about motion, by asking them or having them brainstorm ideas in small groups.

Use the concepts to do a simple demonstration. Do a few different ones. Then discuss what they all have in common.
