romping
Bounding about playfully
Romping is lively, energetic play—running, jumping, tumbling with abandon.
Children romp in playgrounds; puppies romp in yards.
The word suggests boisterous physical activity without restraint: The kids were romping through the sprinklers.
Romping can also describe easy dominance in competition: The team went romping to victory.
