Depends on lot of things : whats the age of the children, how long is the journey, is it day or night , how many are there ?
Typically children above ages 5 , if there are more than one, are pretty self reliant ! INdian train Journey's are a treat to them, with unending views and sights. Have a couple of comic books handy.
If the children are infants or alone, it can be quiet challenging to keep them engaged and if its not a A/C coach the noise some time frighten's the infants atleast for some time. Tie a saree between oppsite berths and use it as a bed for really small babies (less than a year old). The automatic gentle rocking does wonders.
Train journey's are a really good way to experience India. HAve fun !

When your family is ready and set to go on a trip, take advantage of these tips to help make your adventure an enjoyable and safe trip for all:
Arrive at least an hour before your train's scheduled departure to check your luggage and give your family time to find the departure gate and familiarize yourself with the train station. Take the time to find out where you will also depart the train and pick up luggage on your return trip.
If you have arranged to pre-board, or even if you haven't, ask the Ticket handler if you can pre-board with children.
Review Safety Concerns with children before boarding and after you have boarded.
Supervise young children when using the restroom - see Safety tips for Using Public Washrooms
Settle into your seats as soon as possible to allow other passengers to settle in.
Remind children to respect other passengers and Service Attendants at all times.
Locate the washroom facilities.
Introduce yourself to the Service Attendant and inquire where any special cars that you can visit may be and particulars of any meal service.
Try to respect other passengers that may be napping or sleeping on the train - especially during the late evening and early morning hours.
Feel free to tip Service Attendants.
Take advantage of train stops that allow passengers to disembark for some fresh air and to stretch your legs - but make sure you reboard the train on time.
Avoid high sugar and caffeine snacks and drinks for children.
Ask the Service Attendant if any activity books or toys are available for children.
