Maybe they need the type of sundial that doesn't cast a
shadow but casts a spot of light. That way the kids can be
in the shade.
What might be fun for a class is to make a birthday window
in the classroom. When a students birthday is approaching
ask them to bring in a photo of themselves and stick it to
the wall where the sun spot is shining.
You could also mark holidays and vacation days, sure to
attract the interest of kids.
With their attention on the sunspot you could all watch the
solstices come and go and determine the equinoxes. You could
also watch the sun spot progress during the day and learn
lots about declination.
Simple and cheap to make, big display, and keeps kids safely
away from the sunshine.
