Teach them the Overhand Slippery Knot for all their rad Grade VII speed solos. (backup knot that releases when pulled from above but in theory synches tighter when pulled from below. Used to backup a haulbag hanging from a hook)

A nice, simple one that is also useful in everyday life is a modification to the regular bow that you use to tie your shoelaces. Pretty much just wrap twice instead of once just before finishing the bow. The added friction of the 2nd wrap means that your shoelaces stay tied, but you can also untie them easily when you want.
