The only way you can do it right now, is at high speeds, or when it's super wet. Going sideways at high speed is NOT the same as going sideways on snow.
The suggestions the members are giving you are for "lots" because that's what you asked for, but what what you're trying to do is, frankly in my humble and honest opinion, ridiculous.
Man up, tell your girlfriend she is a terrible driver and that you are worried about her safety, and tell her how to PREVENT going sideways, not try to teach her how to react once it happens.
Kudos to you for being a good bf though.

Seriously. If your girlfriend sucks at driving, it IS your place to tell her, because you aren't going to be happy if her lack of understanding of how dangerous driving can be results in something bad happening to either one of you. If you can't understand that taking her into a parking lot and teaching a bad driver to hammer the throttle, lose control, and try and get it back, is not the way of solving the problem, I think a third party teacher is in your best interest. Teach her how to not lose it in the first place. As said, losing control on wet pavement, and losing control on snow and ice is nowhere near equivalent.
