First thing you got to do to make a Christian is tell them about hell. Then you do all you can to get them to stop thinking and just cower to the fear of hell. You got to make this life miserable for them(tell them they are wurms and sinners) so they will long to go to a heaven where they will be tortured for eternity by the memories of their loved ones in hell.
Tell them Malachi 2:3 - Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
This will help scare them a little...remember..it's all about fear!
Teach them just the good parts of the Bible, but avoid passages like these...don't teach them these are in the Bible....
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;18:They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Numbers 31:17 - Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him18: But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Psalms 137:9 - Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Well there is way too many to list..but you can find more stuff you'll know to avoid teaching them at this site...

I would stay away from dry verses and religious talk. These things have importance, but other things have more.
I would stress to them key teachings of Jesus, and remind them that Jesus cares about them and is always with them. I would emphasize the positives a Christian life can bring to you. Many kids will see Christianity as something "they have to follow," something that is going to be restrictive; I would let them know that a life with Jesus does the opposite. Jesus in your life means a life of peace and strength.
I would also teach a bit about the Sermon on the Mount.
I teach Jr. High. I understand the challenges you will be facing. All the best to you.

Jesus Christ who he is and the role he plays in our daily lives and in our future.
Example scriptures:
Collosians 1:15-17
Jesus Christ is the firstborn of all creations. He has a very important purpose.
Hebrews 2:9
He tasted death for all mankind
Phillipians Chapter 2 verse 1-11
Jesus's prehuman existence.
The difference between who Jesus is and who his Father is. How his Father placed him in that position.
Matthew 20:28
What Jesus came to do
Hebrew 7:20-28
No daily sacrifices needed like before, but rather Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice.
John 14:12,15 and 1 John 2:3
Must obey God's commands and do the works that Jesus did

I am also joining an already existing bible study organisation at our school and I am also struggling with what I am going to teach them. I am praying a lot (you should do too) for wisdom and I'm asking God to give me the words for any question posed. I have read 2 of Francine Rivers' books and they are AMAZING! If you ever get the change buy one and see if you like it. Oh, for ideas for lessons - go to a Christian bookstore, they have very friendly staff and they're always eager to help. Or go through The Bible and look for interesting, inspiring pieces and go through a bit of trouble to make a great lesson!! Good luck!

Study the first 4 books of the new testament, then really study,, the book of acts. It will teach you and them what the apostles taught the people.tell them they really need to be committed. Study with an open heart,and mind.If they want to be a Christan tell them what they MUST do to be saved. Be baptized for the remission of their sins and be born again, a new creature, washed clean as a new born babe. and if they do and they are sincere they will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and he will teach, and guide them in all truth.

I think first you should teach them who God is which I'm sure you know where it is, then teach them about Jesus and his ultimate sacrifice, then the importance of being a child of god. That's how i started off my teen discussion then i started with topics on diff things like how to live as a young christian, anger, self-esteem, sex, sin, things like
