I don't think UL would approve :) Also, you don't want to endanger the 
kids.  But - if you energize one coil with a DC source, then *move* the 
other coil around, you should get something to happen.  Maybe a light 
bulb, or maybe a current meter would show the affect.  In fact, if you 
have time to build a little turntable, somehow allowing the kids to spin 
the second coil - that should also work.  Faster spins = brighter 
lights, or higher current readings - make a game out of it :)
