Yeah, the friend I played with is a teacher and he bought Forbidden Island for his class (grade 5). It's appropriate for that age level and it's just a simple version of Pandemic, troutman nailed it.
I think Lords of Waterdeep is a great, simple worker placement game. I know it says "dungeons and dragons" on the box but it requires absolutely no knowledge of any prior games and it's not an RPG. Everyone's vying for the resources that are out in front of you on the game board, there's no real hidden objectives or confusing mechanics. I think it would be a great game for non-gamers to get into.
