Sometimes students just need to get their wiggles out! I’ve heard some teachers suggest getting students moving before a test while others suggest doing so after testing is done. Whichever time works best for your class, exercise is a great stress reliever.
Here are a few resources in DEstreaming you might want to check out:

Search for “Deskercise” (grades K-4)
