I'd suggest you newbies go to
https://www.gambit.com/ and play some free games. It always pays the winner anywhere from 5 - 100 uBTC (1uBTC = 0.00000100) in a few minutes time.
Then you guys can also go to the gambling section, when you are out of newbie jail.

Those are my suggestions to people who JUST got into bitcoin, and just so you know, these are only a few ways you can make free bitcoins.
In my opinion, this is the easiest way to earn your first 0.05-ish BTC as a newbie.
