Simple model suggestion

[Dj origami]

Im teaching origami to students from other school this Saturday. I have no idea what to teach them , can anyone give me some suggestions? Its kinda weird to ask for this but i only fold complex models and I cant really remember with what i started origami...XDD
Please dont suggest crane or sth like that. Those models should be fun to fold and simple but still , when people look at them they will recognize what it is ...

Thank you in advance!

Simple and stunning:
Hideo Komatsu simple models. Pig for example.

Just if you want to keep away from traditional models.

Roman Diaz models should work well too. Avoid modulars. Chances are they will decide its too hard to make more than 1 or 2 units, and end up wasting your paper .

Montroll. What better way to introduce someone to folding.

Maekawa's squirrel in genuine origami. It's my favorite simple model, and it looks good in the end.

I agree about both Komatsu's pig and Maekawa's squirrel. Yoshizawa's butterfly is a favorite when I teach. The jumping frog is always fun, particularly if you use index cards or the like so the frogs really hop! The Kawahata bunny is a good one. There are some nice, easy models by Sok Song too, such as the song bird and the turtle. Kasahara's simple fox (with the curved ears). The twist fish. Any pinwheel/top, particularly the one or two piece models.

Modulars work well with a group if you can get the students to co-operate.
If you've got 10 students and they each fold 3 modules you've got 30 modules in very little time.

Yes group modular works well - provided you decide who can keep the model at the end, or a fair method on choosing who can keep the model in the end.
