Photographing Groups of Children

How do you photograph nine children ages 11 and under? From the below photos, you will notice that I do not know the answer to this question. If you know a secret to this laborious task, please share...

OK, all 9 are here. Adults with cameras get ready please!

OK, #8 is just not into this. Photographers, hold your shutters down. Be ready!

OK, we lost #8. Let the kids make #9 happy while an adult chases down #8.

He's back. Hurry! Click! Look here everybody! Click! Say "Cheese!" Click!

Durn! Lost him again. OK kids, we're done! Remaining kids respond, "Hooray!"
