Tectonics and Carbon Cycle activity

Wondering if anyone might have an activity involving the influence of plate tectonics on the carbon cycle? The audience is pre-service elementary ed majors.  I've got a lot of activities for tectonics but not on its influence on carbon cycling, or any simple demonstrations of the carbon cycle as well would be greatly appreciated.

I did a quick search and found this: Carbon Cycle Role Play, that includes volcanic eruptions as a source of CO2. Maybe you will find it useful. http://coseenow.net/mare/files/2012/08/CarbonCycleRolePlay_ElementaryMiddle.pdf
