The children are saying they want to go outside and run. They know they have a routine that involves running. They are not able to express the words and say,"I know there is a routine where we should run, but they are showing it. If it is a rainy day and they cannot go out they should still have an hour or an hour and a half of physical active play. Divide them into three or four small groups and let them dance until their heart is content or until they are tired. Relax you have trained them well and they know what they should be doing, as opposed to the lazy teacher. I know, I go through it myself and have to come up with physical activities lasting for at least an hour or an hour and a half before their naptime and of course a relaxing story ten minutes before their relaxing lunch and naptime.
