You can do:
1. Crunches
Lie on your back with your knees bent and support your head in your hands, as shown. Lift your shoulder blades off the floor towards a 45-degree angle and breathe out. As you lower your shoulder blades back down again, breathe in. To keep the action slow and controlled, count to four on the way up and then to four again on the way down. Always keep your chin tucked toward your chest and avoid letting your head touch the ground — you can maximize your results by lifting and lowering your shoulder blades off the floor, not by moving your head.
2. Trunk Twists
Lie on your back with your knees bent and support your head in your hand. Raise your upper back off the floor and, with one hand, reach over to your opposite knee, performing a trunk twist. Alternate sides, keeping your head off the floor, and remember to breathe out as you lift up and breathe in as you lower back down.
3. Reverse Curls
Lie on your back, your legs raised and hands below your belly button, as shown. This will enable you to actually feel your lower abdominal muscles tightening as you perform the exercise. Keep your legs raised and knees bent as you lift and lower your bottom, imagining that you are trying to press your heels up to the ceiling. Do not lift your back off the floor — just slightly raise your bottom an inch or so off the ground to feel your abdominal muscles working. Avoid holding your breath as you gently lift and lower your legs and bottom.

basic crunches but try tohave your body at an angle...kind of like hanging off the side of the bed. Do crunches but dont go all the way up...do a few crunches and then when you go up again hold it for 10 seconds...and repeat with 30 reps

If you are trying to showcase your abs then you need to get your fat ratio down, not saying your fat...
Do cardio and eat a sensible diet.

crunches, sit ups, polities, and stretching your mid section, and just exercising in general will tone your mid section
