Easiest way would be : Get Child transform using its index , and then get GameObject of that child transform:

 GameObject  ChildGameObject1 = ParentGameObject.transform.GetChild (0).gameObject;
 GameObject  ChildGameObject2 = ParentGameObject.transform.GetChild (1).gameObject;

And so on .....

Got this error, "$$anonymous$$issing$$anonymous$$ethodException: $$anonymous$$ethod not found: 'UnityEngine.Rigidbody.GetChild'." I am using trrigerObject as a RigidBody variable.

Yes because GetChild does not exist as a method of gameObject....

I would attach a script to your marker gameobject like so:

 // C#
 
 public GameObject myMarker;
 
 void Start()
 {
     marker = this.gameObject;
 }
 
 // JS
 
 var myMarker : GameObject;
 
 function Start()
 {
     marker = this.gameObject;
 }

Making it public means other scripts can now access this gameobject.
