The simplest is to use Beamer.  Look at some of the examples at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Beamer

or at the Beamer template installed with LyX.

Another possibility is Powerdot.

I personally prefer Beamer straight to LaTeX, skipping the LyX 
middleman. My personal reason for preferring this is that a lot of 
LyX's benefits concern handling of body text, and my presentations are 
mostly headers.

I've written a detailed howto concerning Beamer-LaTeX here:

 From there, you can download a copy of the slides, or view the

 handles sections (losing frame type, changing text to some other type, etc)

As of LyX 1.5.5, you can move the beamer and powerdot slides via the outliner.
