Following a (very) wet Easter weekend, my preferred collective noun for a group of children confined to the house would be 'a noise of children'. Apart from that, I do rather like the thought of 'an anorak of statisticians'.

If what happened at my house last weekend is any indication, I'll go with "a calamity of children".
