Fidgety 

If you’re fidgety, you just can’t sit still — usually because you’re nervous, bored, or excited. You move around, shift in your seat, play with your hands — anything to release that extra energy.

Examples:

2- The kids were fidgety during the long ceremony — one dropped his shoe, another started humming.
