Continuous drive as well!! Those kids can't half run quick!!
The best pics will be those that haven't been set up. I agree, AUTO, and just snap away. Indoors (& outdoors, possibly) might need flash.
I disagree, set it to Shutter priority and pick your minimum shutter speed (c1/250 I would guess) no point shooting at 1/30 if the kids are hairing round. If you're going to set anything to auto set your ISO to auto to make sure that you still get the shots.
