How can I teach piano to a group with only one instrument?

Hi everyone.

I got the opportunity to teach a 1.5 hour workshop for students aged 12-18 who have no musical background at all.

It's a very low income zone and private classes are deemed too expensive so a public library decided that creating that workshop would be a good idea as an activity for kids after school.

They only got one piano so that complicates things quite a bit...

I proposed that classes could be more oriented towards music in general, with rythmic exercises, singing and some piano playing depending on the amount of students but I'm worried that's not enough.

I only gave private classes 1 on 1 before so it'll be a challenge, but I want to get more experience.

Any ideas? Tips? Material I could use?

Thanks!
