You could do some basic solar imaging in white light - this will show the sunspots and surface granulation.
The safest way is to make up a cover for your scope with a 75mm or so aperture. Use a piece of Baader Solar film to cover the hole (don't forget to put a piece over the front of the finder!)
I'm sure you'll ask - yes, you could use a full (10") aperture filter - if the seeing conditions are good then it will give better resolution - but a 75/100mm works well 99% of the time.
