Carrie recommended the following,

Using the location of active/recent volcanoes and earthquakes to define plate boundaries and spreading centers.

http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/dynamic.html

This is geared towards middle and high school students and has lesson plans,
teacher guides, etc.

Other ideas include using silly putty to show how the same material (such as the crust) can experience both ductile and brittle deformation, or using biology,
including fossils, to show that populations were separated by plate tectonics.
