A quiet, flat part of town, with all RH turns. Start just getting them to feel and understand the pattern and where all the gears are (my father taught me this at age 11, and I would sit beside him and change the gears as he drove the car). Once they understand the shift, start by just teaching them to pull away then stop, then changing up and stopping before finally getting them downshifting. Do not go out onto busy roads until they are perfectly comfortable on the "nursery slopes".
