While R&J is often the play students begin with, I think Comedy of Errors or A Midsummer Night's Dream work better for the first exposure. Comedy of Errors is the shortest play Shakespeare wrote (1787 lines as opposed to 3100 for R&J) and it is silly and filled with rhyming lines. MND is a delightful comedy that is the most-performed high school play in the U.S. Young students love it.
