I like the Frisbee idea....GP
The idea is to make the meal and have as little clean up as is possible. With the frisbees, the paper plates, even if overloaded, won't drop the food for the dogs to eat.  Then you have a toy for after eating . . .  This should be good for children as well.
I forgot, take onions, peel and core them, rinse them off, then place on a square of aluminum foil, put butter in the core hole, seasoned salt and any other flavorings such as garlic, wrap up the onion, put either on the grill or in the charcoal for about one hour. 
Take fish fillets, smaller fish like perch or other panfish, clean them, wrap in bacon, wrap them in aluminum foil, put them on the grill for 20-25 minutes, turning once. The bacon gives the fish a nice flavor and keeps the fish from sticking. Or season said fish, add lemon and onion slices, then wrap them in aluminum foil, place them on the grill for 20-25 minutes, turning once.
You can also make a scout-style foil packet for a full meal. Dice potatoes and onions, meat and vegetables and put some in a strip of foil (shiny side inside) about 8" long. Do not overload as you will be folding the ends a couple of times and the edges two or three times. Add butter, salt and pepper, and other spices to taste (bearing in mind most children do not like hot-spicy food).
Now the critical part to make a packet:
1. Bring the foil sides together, shiny side to shiny side above the food. There should be enough foil to fold at least twice.
2. Fold evenly about .5" from the top. This single fold will not yet lock in the goods.
3. Fold again in the same direction to make a double, locking fold which will prevent most moisture and butter from escaping.
4. If you have enough foil above the food to make another fold in the same direction, do so. That will practically guarantee a seal.
5. Fold the ends at least twice in the direction away from the top fold, toward the unfolded side of the packet. That pulls the top seal tight lengthwise.
6.Throw directly in a campfire or onto a grille and cook about ten minutes, turning once.
7. Remove from heat, let cool for a few minutes, open carefully - expecting steam from the first open seam. If at camp, use any flat surface long enough to hold the packet and dine off the foil. My cubs/scouts often used a chunk of split wood on their laps.
This is a very handy way to prepare a fast, plate-free, pot/pan free meal for day outings or first meal of a weekend camp; or just a minimal waste way to have a backyard meal.
EDIT: UNP!
