My first game, my partner (older guy) introduced himself as Mr. [last name] and then pointed to me. I stood there for a second before just saying my first name. I'm not much older than those kids!
My pregame:
"Hello everybody, I'm RedAndWhiteRef, that's [Partner], we'll be your officials today. Sportsmanship is the most important thing, if you have a question please ask us and we'd be happy to answer. Captains, keep your teams in line, everyone play good clean defense and let's have a good game."
30 seconds max.
