each of...作主语时,后面接的反意疑问句用单数主语(侧重全体)或复数主语(侧重个别)都可以:

Each of the children has his own mother, hasn’t he? / haven’t they?(《英语词语用法详解词典》)

Each of the pupils passed the exam, didn’t they? / didn’t he?(《大学英语深层语法》)

Each of the children wanted to go to the park, _______?

意思等于:Every one of the children wanted to go to the park, _______?

Every one 分开写,是两个单词。复合不定代词 everyone 不能接 of 作定语,所以把复合不定代词 everyone 变成两个词。

据此,Each of the children wanted to go to the park, _______? 的附加问句,应该是:

Each of the children wanted to go to the park,  didn't they?

由于指人时,单数第三人称有两个代词,he she,无法确定性别,原则上使用复数的人称代词 they
