I find it useful to have everyone write their first 'program', not for 
a computer, but for a human: choose some simple task, such as "answer the 
phone", "drink a coke", or "write an X on the chalkboard". 
Generally, no one will include all the necessary steps. Acting these 
instructions out exactly as written can lead to some entertaining moments.
