The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has provided some resources for prayer during this time of papal transition.
In particular, here is a Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI as he approaches his retirement and here is a Prayer for the Election of a New Pope.
Likewise, here is a bulletin insert on How a New Pope is Chosen.
All 3 of these resources are available in Spanish and are available for purchase in quantities.
Finally, here are some good resources for schools and parish RE programs about Electing a Pope (from the Archdiocese of Dublin – Education Secretariat)

Great resources, Joe!
I’d also like to point your readers towards a new web site full of Q&As about the papal election: http://www.ElectingThePope.net. It has a variety of resources and answers written by Catholic writers and catechists (including myself). People can even submit questions we haven’t answered yet. We’re hoping it will be a valuable resource to Catholics and non-Catholics alike who have questions about the conclave.
