[Athen] Portable amplification Systems.

[Doug Hayman]

Roland Cube amps have a small lunchbox size unit that you can plug a
microphone or guitar into and, use batteries (or AC adapter).  It does a
good job on guitar playing.  And with an adapter that goes from XLR to 1/4"
jack, a person could plug in a microphone using a small cable.

That set up would be

Shure sm 58 mic ($100)
Adapter (about $20)
XLR cable....($12 or so)
Roland Cube ($140)
AA batteries

sweetwater.com has competitive prices AND knowledgeable sales people who
can help spec out items and support their various needs.  B&H photo are
probably similar though suited mostly to photos, also do audio items.

I've seen mention of stand-alone items before but suspect those vary in
quality and durability.

A user could also make use of an iPhone/iPad with Garageband...plus
adapters and a bluetooth speaker but that might take some special skill to
not feedback or run out of power mid-way through a class.
