Maybe the for loop problem you are having is because you didn't relate it to something the student can visualize. How about tying it to a real world example? [snip dolls example] Once they have that concept, you can tell them about using numbers and testing for end conditions.
That's a rather neat idea! I'll try that next time. :) Regards, Martijn
