Get yourself a 1/2 a dozen tip-ups
a Couple of jigging rods (kids like to be active...not sitting around drinking beers and waiting for flags)
scour around for some skis to make a cheap sled
you can get a hand auger......6" or 7" will do for you
a Minnow bucket (I use old kitty litter buckets.....I can even save one for you from the next batch)
a hand net to fish out minnows
some hooks
some splitshot weights
You can use your korkers on the ice.

I'm finding the best part of Ice fishing.....is its friggin cheap. A jigging rod can be had for $20-$25...tip-ups you can get for about $100 for the 1/2 dozen.

Search Craigslist....there is always stuff on there

Hope this helps
