[regulationnerdiness] Well, if their airport is class G, they won't even need that [/regulationnerdiness] Get airborne, remain clear of clouds, call Center. Shoot an approach at another airport, then go VFR in class G back to the home field.

...of course I don't know what the terrain is like around there, trying to do that might be kinda tough.

...you file IFR and climb to VFR on top in order to fly to another airport and do TnG's with your private student.
 
...you can find your way to your home airport from anywhere within a 20 NM radius in 3 mile visibility using pilotage, but you can't find your way around town because the only places you ever go are the airport and the various shops along your route to and from the airport.
