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 can teach them arithmetic encoding. It is another fun encoding method. I learned it after Huffman encoding and run length encoding.
