here's a thought ... kids love stuff.  so if you know you're going to have 
helpers, small tokens would go over extremely well ... scale up according 
to the situation.

perhaps some thought could be given to a official local / regional / kingdom 
awards designed solely for the young ... or ... special catagories in our 
suitable competitions for the young folk (arts and sciences comes initially 
to mind) ... you reward and encourage service, give them something to 
strive for, and create something that sets their age-related peers special 
and shows that their presence and contributions are noted and appreciated 
...
 
though this could be taken to the other end of the bell curve of age and 
applied to the "old farts" (grin) ... self is touching that side of the curve only 
in chronological measures
