I have runners as well. They play this game called 'competitions' where they have races in different forms (walking, crab crawling, scooting, 'speed walking' ect) It drives me nuts but I have learned that in the winter they need to blow off the extra energy some how. So they are allowed to play this game following afternoon snack while I tidy up a bit. The rule is that if I need to give more then 2 warnings (either for running, yelling, arguing ect) the competitions end and everyone needs to partake in a quiet time activity (puzzles, reading, coloring, board game ect) However, if I notice that a single particular child is the one causing all of the warnings, then they are separated for a given amount of time.
