Never? Really?

As kids, they never played cowboys and Indians? Cops and robbers? Even a first person shooter is roleplaying of a crude sort ("I'm the last Space Marine and I have to stop an alien invasion of earth.").

If they aren't geeked for "playing pretend" I don't think any approach you take is going to work.
