How many choices do you have for the kid in the first seat? 6
How many are left for choices in the nexgt seat? 5
Next seat? 4
Next? 3
Next? 2
Last seat? 1
So 6%2A5%2A4%2A3%2A2%2A1+=+720

I think there are 5!=5x4x3x2x1=120 ways, because they are around the table.
If they are in a line then there are 6! ways.
