It is completely normal for kittens to tumble and bite at each other. They will rarely do so aggressively and rarely will cause physical harm. They are creating social bonds and getting exercise. Often times kittens will bite human hands because they see the human hands as a toy. Make sure that you never tease the kittens with your hands. Do not attempt to rough-house with them using your hands. Instead, play with balls, feathers, toys on a string, etc. to interact safely with them.
