Stellarium, soduku, education-logic-games, education-geography would all
be good packages to install. Google earth as well even if it's
proprietary. If the computers will handle it, it's a very cool app I
think the girls can have a lot of fun looking where each other live and
how far away from different places they are. Supertux and supertuxkart
are also good choices as they're mad fun.
