Simple fundamentals such a how to dribble form wise.  How to receive a passed ball with your hands forming a diamond and catching it like an egg.  And please teach them how to bounce pass, it's such a lost art.  If memory serves it's 60 to 70% in the air to the receiver.

Have fun but always with a purpose because of the short time you have.  Found girls to be more receptive to teaching but not nearly as aggressive as boys in most cases.  Use some life analogies to get some points across, sometimes that helps kids that learn better that way that struggle a bit with the physical/visual aspect and gets them to remember.

Shooting forms will be all over the place due to strength and coordination.  Most if not all will be shooting with 2 hands like the set shot.

Have a lesson plan of what you want to accomplish.  You'll probably not get to everything because of X or Y but be as prepared as you can to not have wasted time.

Take them to a HS girls games as a team function if you're able to and don't be shy about asking the coach for ideas.

It's a great experience, enjoy it because she'll be out of the house in the blink of the eye.
