That's an interesting idea. You could take three groups of kids, group 1 is register A, group 2 is register B, group 3 is the output, and you have one for carry/overflow. You can add or remove bits and make other flags to get everyone included. Then you just tell them the rules for any operation you want to run!

For example, adding A and B together you do from right to left, and carry gets to raise his hand when you overflow.

You could do other simple operations like subtract, shifts, ANDs and ORs, etc.

That could be a blast.
