What are Top Moves/Techniques Beginners Should Know?

I have been asked to "teach" a class about self-defense to a youth group (girls aged 11-17). An actual self-defense instructor was going to teach it, but they had to cancel. I guess I was asked to step in because they know I box, and a lot of the girls know and like me. (I used to be one of their advisors)

Realistically, I'll only have about 30-45 minutes (maybe less because not all the girls speak English fluently and we'll have to translate). I have gone to self-defense workshops before, but it's been a while. What are some moves I should study up on with a week to prepare? Given the limited time and attention of the girls, I want to demonstrate and teach techniques that are either the most universal, effective, essential, etc.

What moves should everyone, especially every beginner, know?
