i don't know if it's "allowed" but if it were me i would've taken him outside and he would've sat in "time out" while out there. i think it's greater punishment to watch your friends play than to be left inside while they play.

what did he do?

if they haven't been outside in several days, it could be that he had lost five minutes play time on monday but they didn't get to go out. then, he lost five minutes play time on tuesday but they didn't get to go out. so - on wednesday when they did get to go out, he was made to "serve" his ten minutes. i dunno, i'm just speculating.
