If not, the non nappers are allowed to have QUIET activities, either on their mats, or at their table. They color, read, do puzzles, that sort of thing.
They KNOW they MUST play quietly, or they lay back down on their mat. I am pretty strict about this, and they know it. 
It's whispers and light walking feet only.
We couldn't do that here, I had 2 4yr olds and 1 5 yr old, and quiet feet ALWAYS ended up stomping feet with in 1 minute. AND they didn't have whisper voices, there was 2 volumes: loud and loudest
