Answer 1

Say you didn't fold your laundry last time so all of your socks are mixed up in your drawer. Now you only want to leave the house if you are wearing matching socks. If you have $7$ pairs of socks then clearly if you remove $8$ socks from the drawer youll have at least $1$ matching pair.

Answer 2

$n$ siblings/friends/etc go trick-or-treating on Halloween. At one door, they are given $n+1$ candies. One of them will necessarily end up with $2+$ candies. Most small kids can likely relate to that ;-)

Answer 3

Have them try to put $n+1$ (wrapped) candies in $n$ boxes.
