    Have them test each other's reflexes by hitting each other on the knee.

    Another idea that includes the central nervous system

    in a dimly lit room, get close to someone and shine a penlight in their left eye. The pupil will get smaller. Then block off the light by putting one of your hands on the person's nose and shine the light in the left eye again. The right pupil will get smaller, even if none of the light reaches it because the right pupil will respond to the light in the OTHER eye. This idea also works if you shine the light in the right eye and look at the left pupil
