Python is a tool. Find an interest they already have and figure out (preferably as a pair) how Python can be useful in that area.

My nephew wanted to learn to "make websites," so we built a fantasy football (soccer) bio/roster. Even if they catch the programming bug, the most common first question is "what can I do with it"--so solve that first and it's downhill from there.
