I think it might be as simple as having a known volume of a liquid and then have the student become submerged in the liquid. Collect the displaced liquid so you can measure its volume and then that would be the volume of the student.

Yeah, displacement is the plan. So, to get absolutely practical, put the student in a bathtub and fill it with enough water to cover the student. Mark the water line on the tub side. Get the student out. Now, add water in measured amounts to the tub until you get the level back up to the line. You have just measured his displacement. Maybe you shouldn't tell mom about this, though.

Lola's right that would be that simplest way, submersion and measure displaced water's volume.
