I concur with both making sure you have the right cable for the MacBook AND the TV.
Tofer makes a good point. Your daughter probably wants an audio cable to connect the MacBook to the TV (or sound system).
Monoprice has good prices for the correct dongles, adapters, and cables.
Remember, use clamshell mode. Connect the video cable to the MacBook and TV, connect a keyboard and mouse, close the lid of the MacBook, and then wake the computer with the keyboard or mouse. Or you can use the Apple remote to wake the computer.
