It’s normal for kids to complain about the cold at recess. (Snow-on-the-ground temperatures). Teachers would typically tell them “go run around for a bit. You’ll warm up.” I’ve heard this both as a student and as staff. But is this the right advice? Because I get warm when I exercise, but then once I’m sweaty and start to relax, I cool off quickly and feel colder than before. What’s the best advice for these kids if I have no say in going indoors? ELI5.

Yes, physical activity will warm you up. Jackets for snowboarders and skiers typically have lots of vents you can open up to cool down because you will get really hot through physical activity even when it’s very cold outside.
