For example, give them a yard stick and make 1" = 1 ft. (Or make it 1/2" if you have a smaller blackboard.)
You will be stunned how much they didn't know and how much they will learn!

Call me crazy, but what exactly does that do for you? That just doesn't sound like a valuable use of time to me. Shrug.
