Subject: Plate tectonics

Does anyone have any suggestions for good labs or in-class demonstrations
to do about plate tectonics? I'm toying with the idea of demonstrating how
the plates move by making pudding and letting a skin develop on the top,
which I can them move around. But I'm not sure how well that would actually
work in class. Any proven activities to make this cool idea more concrete?
