To teach HTTP Cookies, I used small packages of chocolate chip 
cookies and two volunteers, who represent the client and the server. 
They'd pass (or not pass) cookies back and forth depending on the 
parameters of the Cookie field.

Sometimes I'd add another volunteer to represent a CGI process 
running on the server, to differentiate what cookies would be sent 
depending on the path portion of the header.

Works so much better than drawing block diagrams on the board.
