Is it for him to play WITH his kids, or for them to play on their own?

For a very simple and lighthearted SF skirmish that you can use any 
figures for, what about ShockForce? Though some of the imagery in the 
rulebook might not be ideal for 7-9 year olds.... :-/

Otherwise, there is always a stripped-down lite version of FT as 
we've discussed on here before - beams only, no complications, and if 
an adult player writes his/her movement orders then the opposing kids 
don't have to...
