Hungry: remind them at supper that this is the last meal they’re getting and they should eat until they’re very very full [except bedtime snack if you want to go this route]. Also, incorporate bedtime snack into your bedtime routine, it can be just a fruit or vegetable. Remind them to take drinks as well, and tell them this will be your last one.
Scared: is this real or an excuse? Would a night light help? “Monster spray” under the beds? Or do they need something more, like some calming herbs?
Third, it seems they’re having a hard time settling down. Magnesium lotion on their feet and under their arms can be really helpful for this. Even better is a footsoak with magnesium flakes. Bioray ndf kids calm and sleepy might be good options. You can diffuse some calming essential oils as well. What is their diet like? You’d be surprised what a difference it can make to cut msg, food dyes, corn, sugar and other neuroexcitatory food additives.

Maybe this will help them? They are restless kids who can't just be in bed still and wait the sleep to take them over

Ime kids in that age range are hard to settle down
I would separate them and let one sleep in my room and then transfer. It gets better when theyre older
