How about these two:

  - simulation of a street crossing with green/red lights allowing cars 
and pedestrians to pass in one direction then another

  - simulation of an elevator in a building: buttons on each floor to 
call the elevator, buttons inside to go to a particular floor,
    multiple floors can be selected at the same time, creating a queue 
of floors to go to.
