Roleplaying for Munchkins?

I have my nephew and niece staying with us for much of next week; I've
wondered whether a suitable rainy afternoon might be opportunity to
corrupt the next generation into RPGs.  They're already into Harry
Potter.

Anyone had experience of gaming with 10 year olds?  How long a session
can you play before attention spans wane?

The adventure I'm thinking of running is "El Tigre and the Pyramid of
Destruction" from Chaosium's "Blood Brothers", using Fudge rather than
CoC as the system.  I've chosen this as it's something I can run 'out
of the box' without a lot of prep time.

This lasted three or four hours when I ran it a couple of year back.
If ten year olds' attention spans don't last that long, I might try to
split it into two sessions.
