If the runway is long enough, you can touch down intermittently (keeping the power in) just to get a feel for where the wheels are. As you get near the end of the runway, apply power and off you go back into the pattern. I would fly one, then have the student fly one. Not recommended with any strong winds. Check with your instructor and see if he/she would be willing to try this.
This was a technique I learnt while having some difficulty landing the DHC-8 in the sim at least. My instructor got me to conduct a normal approach and then got me to "Not Land!" all the way down the runway, inches from touchdown. Worked a treat.
Be a little careful though as you don't want to find yourself running out of runway at the upwind end and still at 2 feet AGL!
