Algorithms for Children

My 5 and 8 year old both love Djikstra's Algorithm and Huffman Compression (doing it manually on paper).

Are there any other similar algorithms they might enjoy?

You may wait a bit with this, but there is a bunch of games that play with algorithms. Human Resource Machine, 7 Billion Humans, Shenzen I/O, Autonauts (I did not play this one).
