Well, we usually have two or more teachers in the room when we're preparing to go outside. One will essentially run the room while the other applies sunscreen and provides backup. We usually sit the kids down for story time and one teacher pulls kids one at a time for sunscreen. If we have a lot of kids (we can have up to 24 in my room), we'll start doing sunscreen while the kids are still playing and through cleanup time, too.
