U.S. persons (and executors of estates of U.S. decedents) file Form 3520 to report:

Certain transactions with foreign trusts.
Ownership of foreign trusts under the rules of sections Internal Revenue Code 671 through 679.
Receipt of certain large gifts or bequests from certain foreign persons.

You can report more than one gift on Form 3520, Part IV, Line 54.

@Ram sis singh , form 3520 is required to be filed individually for each recipient of gifts equal or more than US$100,000. However, and absent any other facts that you have not disclosed on your ;post , because the minors are probably your dependent, I would suggest recognizing the whole ( total gift amount ) by filing a form 3520 by yourself or you and your spouse --- I say this because clearly ( or may be interpreted as ) you are receiving the total amount for your use but breaking up the donation/ gift into chunks just under the threshold for reporting. That is my opinion and undoubtedly some will disagree.
