First of all, soak the seed only overnight. Then, plant them right away in a container for the kids to see. Cover the soaked seed with about 1/2" of potting soil and keep damp but not soggy-wet. The soaked seed is more likely to germinate. Seed in soggy-wet soil will rot. The planted seed needs warmth to germinate and then sun to develop leaves.
Lima bean plants usually vine (there are bush varieties). So, if you don't want the plant to run all over the ground (floor), you'll need to tie it up or support the vines some how.
The plants are not likely to fruit up unless they are in a rather big container and are watered and fed regularly. You can transplant the young plants into the ground and they will do fairly well as a transplant. Ideally, beans will do better planted directly into the garden instead of transplanted.
Hope that's helpful. Good luck!
