How many 5 year-olds.....

You have to choose something heavier than a bat, but not too heavy to prematurely tire yourself.

How about an Indiana Jones-style whip? The sound alone, not to mention having to watch a fellow 5-year-old have his face literally whipped off his head, would shock and awe the entire group.

I think the Indiana Jones whip is not a bad idea. How about if we make it a multi-player game? How about if you can tag-team the kids with another adult? Then you could run stunts and various plays like using the whip as a clothesline and just run down a whole pack of kids.

edit: On second thought, the whip is a bad idea. I see tripping problems and the kids could do the whole lilliputian thing and get you all tied up.

side question: you can add an adult on your team, but double the number of kids. at which number of kids does this switch from +EV to -EV for you?

You shouldn't be punching or kicking- you should be grabbing the first kid and throwing him into a group of them, rinse repeat as needed untill there are just a few left.

Why not Zangief-style 360 piledrivers?

This seems to be the most effective, just tossing them on the ground until they get weak or possible break something from the fall, and then stomping on them.

"I started to think as long as you are in shape the number could be really really high."

As long as you have enough room to run in you could probably do upwards of 200. The only real danger you are in is if two or three of them grab a hold of a leg and others are able to get to you and grab a hold.
# of 5yr olds = stamina/density of kids is the equation i believe.

I say never. Having the protection of a teammate to bail me out on the rare occasion I get in trouble is huge, well worth doubling the tykes, possibly tripling.

Hell, if I just fended off 75 rabid 5 year olds, you'd better believe I'm going to go WWF style on those last 25 just for giggles.
