Unfortunately I've not seen any childrens games listed for launch yet. Also intially not all Xbox games will be backward compatable with the 360 at launch, only the top sellers/played games. Now this may cover some of the Disney games as they are always big sellers for the kids, but I couldn't say for definate as MS haven't announced anything yet themselves.

Depending on your childrens age the only lainch title that may be suitable could be Kameo by Rare. There's some info, movies and screenshots in these links...

Hope that helps. I'm sure if anyone else knows more about what childrens games will be available on the 360 they'll let you know in here

Oh and welcome to the site

Oh and just something else you may not be aware of.

The 360 comes with parental control built in. So you can input your childrens ages into the xbox so when they play the system it'll prevent them from been able to stick in dads GTA or other age rated games and play them . I'll have a look around and see if I can find the article about this feature, which will give you more details

Would racing games count as childrens titles? You could always get Project Gotham Racing 3...

Sports games might be suitable just check the rating on them. What are there ages?

PGR3 should be a good game for kids and Kameo will be a great game for kids but keep them away from Call Of Duty II thats a dad game

Keep them away from Need for Speed most wanted as well.....seems like a "bad-boy" type racer, probably with swearing and all the other "cool" phrases in
