So my 5th grader is getting interested in playing, and if he does, my 3rd grader is going to want to play as well. Does anyone have some good dungeon and adventure suggestions that would work well for this age group?

Does anyone have some good dungeon and adventure suggestions that would work well for this age group? I haven't run much for kids. I ran T1 for my (then) 8 yo daughter and her friends - the session rapidly morphed into lots of role-playing conversations with fantastical creatures.
I recently took my 9 yo and 6 yo daughters to a gaming con where they were playing some Hero Kids scenarios (Basement O Rats and Escape from the Ghost Pirates). They both engaged enthusiastically once play commenced. (Some trepidation going in.) Youngest responded really well to reskinning her sorcerer character as a conjurer of fluffy bunny missiles. I think it helped having "not-Dad" as the GM. I made a point of staying back and letting them get on with their own game.

That's hilarious. My son is going to be a bit more stabby stabby than that. And my daughter will probably look forward to casting some sort of dark magic.
"Broodmother Sky Fortress!"
That might work, and I already own it. They'd probably really get into figuring out how to get up there. I'll probably still have to come up with a couple intro adventures before the giants show up.

- Enemies on mat ✓
- They're attacking you ✓

Find a setting they'll be familiar with, maybe a setting that you can cross platform entertainment with. LOTR, Star Wars, or the like, Or go Old School and pick up the Old D&D cartoon. Make the Characters their age, It'll be a big help in the immersion
What I did in my daughter's campaign was set it in ancient Egypt. She was a young noble who needed to upkeep her household, Then along with the D&D books at the table I kept these
to provide something tactile for her to mess with, in character and out. The adventures were a way to get gold to maintain her family's lifestyle. The older players made characters that had to look out for the young nobles.
If however you just want to adventure out of the box. I strongly recommend
Probably in the top five adventures to get new players started
(By way of edit: Both west end games Star wars, and Pinnacle games Deadlands had "kid" as a starting player character. I don't know how yours will feel about setting though.)
