start with a game like dodge ball (using yoga balls) is heaps of fun, an obstacle course, or a game of stuck in the mud, or tiggy, or some kind of relay. anything to get their major muscle groups warmed up, and some of their energy expelled. around 5-10mins

then you can do dynamic or static stretches as you feel relevant to the what you wish to achieve. but start at one end of the body, and then move all the way down (or up) making sure from toes to finger tips you have stretched and loosened up each area. this should only take 10-15 mins (maybe longer for higher levels).
