Contraction of will to express future

Is there a rule to form contractions of "will" with different subjects? Is" the children'll be here soon" correct?

Thanks

Hi, Is there a rule to form contractions of "will" with different subjects? Not really. Just be aware that it is much more a feature of spoken English.
