Do people say there are/is going to be a lot of children?

When I wrote a test on the 14 August I got 39/40 and the error was that I said There are going to be a lot of children is it really an error or what?

There are going to be a lot of children at the party. This is perfectly OK. You really need an adverb of place to complete the thought.
