Thanksgiving Recipes For Kids

There are a lot of kids coming to the thanksgiving dinner that my family and I are going to have. I need to have some wonderful fun thanksgiving recipes for kids. There would about 12 kids coming, how many dishes do you think I should have. What all should I have. They range from the ages 6 – 15, so please give me something suitable for this age group. Also what apart from the turkey and mashed potatoes should I have for the grownups? There would peas and loafs of garlic bread available.
