Do you have an extra solar cap? We let the kids look through that at the sun while they're waiting in line. How about printing out a bunch of copies of these sundial templates on card stock and letting the kids fiddle around with them? http://www.mysundial.ca/sdu/sdu_sundial_kits.html That website has very simple to extremely advanced sundials.
Good luck, fingers crossed for no clouds!
