If they just want to do it to bug the girls/teachers then show them how to put one hand over the other and pop the third knuckle of the hiddel (hidden) hand into the palm of the top hand: makes a satisfying "pop" and is not AS hazardous to growning joints. In fact with a little practice you can get four successive pops from all four (hidden) fingers!
