Scales for children

In a few days, I'm going to teach some astronomy to very young children (scouts).
What is sometimes difficult is to provide them with a sense of scales. What is a lightyear, how far is the Sun from the Earth, when did the Big Bang start, when did mankind begin?

It should be worth it, to give them a sense of space and time.
