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.

There is a bit of missing information with this. If you keep moving or move in intervals, you will be warmer. You are supposed to slow down or stop before you start sweating though. Look up some winter survival advice about layers and exertion and it will cover what should be taught to the students.
