the best advice i can think of on the spot, totally ignore the dog as soon as he bites, fold your arms, walk away. 
Praise him loads when you can stroke, play with him without biting.

sorry cant be of more help, someone should be along shortly to help you more! xx

p.s the more you shout and scream at him, the more he will think its a game, and do it more.

Good luck x

I would suggest that you take the dog to a good training class where you will get help in learning how to train him.
As dog-madness says, as soon as he start biting either shut him out or walk away & totally ignore him until he calms down.

Do your children play with him a lot? as this can sometimes confuse a youngster. I redirected my pup onto a toy when she wanted to bite, and praised her and played, and she started to choose to grab the toy rather than a human ;) Also kept taking her out, or else i went out depending on the situation, so in other words a "time out" for a couple of minutes, each time she nipped. Had to be very consistent but it worked well. If you are having trouble though, do contact a reputable trainer for help and advice. If you went to a puppy class get back in touch with that trainer if he/she was good.
