Default Photographing children

Try asking them about their girlfreind or boyfriend, Of course they
still hate the opposite sex but it will get them to loosen up.
Nonsensical questions can work too. Try asking them what they want Santa
to bring therm at Halloween or is Batman wearing any underwear under
those other shorts. An impish look is better than the deer in the
headlight look. Yeah they are only little leage trading card pics, but a
smile helps - that's what M&D want.

I take individual photographs of children at sports events. A problem I
have is getting them to smile naturally. Sometimes I can not get them to
smile (especially the children ages 5 - 8). Does anyone have any
suggestions/tips ?
