Do you want low level Adventure paths (campaigns) or higher level campaigns (adventure paths)?
Or just a module?
The rise of the runelords AP was Paizo's first and it starts off at first level, theirs a lot of fighting in it which should be fun for them.
It goes from lvl 1 to lvl 15
If you go to paizo's store you can read reviews for the 10 AP (Jade Regent is not completly out)
Get more figures probably you will sometimes need very large battles. Also the pathfinder srd has almost everything you need.
hope you get what you need.

If you want it to be Pathfinder I'd recommend not doing an AP earlier than Kingmaker, as the earlier ones were still in the 3.5e rules.
For a starting DM the Serpent's Skull AP is probably better than Kingmaker as there isn't any kingdom management to deal with (at least, not in the first few books). Haven't read up on other APs so I'm not sure how they play out.

Woops did not know that.
I recommend these modules:
- Crypt of the Everflame (1 st-level)
- Masks of the living God (3rd-level)
- City of golden death (5th-level)
You will have adventure for a while.
Or Kingmaker AP.
If you do repeated low level adventures, he'll never be an awesome wizard.
Kingmaker doesn't have anything inappropriate that I can remember, and you can skip all the kingdom building and just let the kids be rulers, it's fun.
Or string modules, but if someone wants to be a wizard, make sure they get to a high enough level, but tehny ou have to make sure they dont overshadow the melee types.
I recently ran We Be Goblins on the beginner box rules. It's a lot of fun! Your kids would have a lot of fun with it, I'd gather, though it will require a bit of conversion work on your part.
They sound like good kids, but I'd be wary of giving any problem players too much free reign. One of my (unfortunately adult) players took his "Chaotic Evil" moniker a little far and managed to derail things pretty thoroughly. Again, just a word of warning. It's probably the best module on the market for Pathfinder, so definately check it out!

Thanks for the heads up on the 3.5e AP's.
Anyone know if Serpent's skull is ok for kids (mostly wanting to avoid sex and torture, no idea if the PFRPG stuff has that kind of thing in it).
AP's are the way to go, then?
Having played the first book for both adventures, I would suggest Kingmaker over Serpent's Skull.
!*Possible spoilers ahead*!
- Open ended
- Foes includes wild animals, fae, bandits and other nature based creatures.
- Supports a "good" alignment party.
- Have many friendly NPCs that can interact with your players.
- Kid friendly. (I did not encounter any sex or torture.)
- A number of moral questions/encounters. Example, do you get rid of a hunter's animal traps? or leave them? Do you help a Fae or the a bunch of people trying to make a living in the forest?
- Finally, players setup a town later in the story. You could take the role of the baron/mayor of the town and have the kids become the town heroes.
- a little open ended in the first book.
- Foes includes cultists(?), wild animals/monsters,
- Much more faster paced
- NPCs need to be made friendly.
- More survival based story (first book.)
- Less appropriate for kids. (There are cannibals in the first book.)
If you want a freer hand in the story I would suggest Kingmaker. If you want something more pre-planned you could try out Serpent Skull. In any case, Kingmaker is more kid friendly then Serpent Skull. The players in Kingmaker can easily be made into to "heroes", while Serpent Skull involves more a need for survival.
I also recommend Kingmaker, after playing it i can say that it's very PG-13, if you think that the kids can't manage the kingdom building thing just skip it. From what i have heard legacy of fire is also very PG-13 but it's an AP for 3.5, while we are on the subject rise of the runelords, second darkness, legacy of fire and curse of the crimson throne are the paizo APs for 3.5 all of their other APs are for pathfinder.
Do NOT run rise of the runelords, it would require too much editing.
The price of immortality chain of modules (Crypt of the Everflame, Masks of the living God, City of golden death) is also quite good, doesn't require any editing iirc and isn't a huge commitment.

On the message boards there is a conversion posted for taking Legacy to 3.p, however
