Hi cookefam,
You can always place temporary caches that are not registered on Geocaching.com. Just print the coordinates on a piece of paper and hand them out. Then you can place them as close as you want, without the 161 metre rule. This is often done at events to allow cachers to practice their skills within a short walking distance. Create different sizes and containers to make it more fun.
This is a great way to introduce muggles to geocaching!

Thanks mwellman;
This would work for us. We knew about the distance rule, but wasn't sure if the temporary caches would be in violation. Thanks again.
