Short answer: you probably can't (unless you meet special circumstances such as "working for the crown" or "they can't get any other citizenship"). They do get some benefits through you, however: it may be easier for them to get a Visa, and they may be able to apply for citizenship after living in the UK for only 3 years instead of 5 years.
Apply for a British passport for your children. http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk, choose the nearest embassy or consulate then once its information is displayed, click on the link to take you to its website. There should be a link available allowing you to make passport applications.

Can a British citizen by descent transmit British citizenship to hisher children born in the UK?
a British citizen (it does not matter whether the parent is a British citizen by descent or otherwise than by descent); or settled in the United Kingdom; orsettled in a qualifying territory. Settled means you are usually resident there without being restricted, under the immigration laws, as to how long you can stay there.Children who are born in a British overseas territory will always be British overseas territories citizens, as long as a parent is a British overseas territories citizen or settled there when the child is born. If the birth occurred before 21 May 2002, the same applies. The child will not be a British citizen if: * * You may however wish to visit the British Embassy websites in your country-or consult a reputable firm of solicitors in the UK dealing in immigration.

Can you register your new born baby as a British citizen if you are a British citizen work abroad and your partner of another nationality who live on the same soil?
That depends on how you got your U.K. citizenship. If you were born in the UK before 1983, you got the citizenship by birth in the UK alone. In such a case you can pass your U.K. citizenship to your child (by descent). Your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. Also, if either one of your parents was a U.K. citizen at your birth and you were born after 1983, you still can pass U.K. citizenship to your children (again by descent). Again, your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. However, if you were born outside the U.K. and got your citizenship by descent (one of your parents was a U.K. citizen), it becomes a little more difficult. You still can try to register your child as a U.K. citizen, but beware that you must meet certain requirements (such as having lived continuously in the U.K. for 3 years before the child's birth). Also, this is at the descretion of the Home Office, and your baby has no official "right" to be U.K. citizen.

If your Father is a British Citizen your birth makes you a British Citizen.?
If the birth is in the United Kingdom, then yes - automatically. If the birth is outside the United Kingdom and took place after 1 January 1983 and the father (or mother) is a British citizen other than by descent, then yes - automatically. Otherwise, you can become a British citizen by descent if your father (or mother) was a British citizen other than by descent by filling in an application form available at any British Embassy or High Commission and providing the appropriate documentation (usually the parent's British passport and a birth certificate for the child). Alternatively, if you want the child to be able to give British citizenship to their children, naturlization may be a better option but this is discretionary and usually requires 3-5 years residence in the UK. There has been discussion about changing these laws late in 2009.
