With a small crowd I like a dob. Spend a little time showing each attendee how to center an object in the finder and then hand track it at the eyepiece leaves them feeling well rewarded for attending.
With larger crowds a midsized tracking scope is best. One or two steps up a kitchen stool with hand grips works fine for kids. Instructing them to hold onto the stool keeps fingers away from eyepieces, too.
