Hi, います(or いる) is the progressive form.
For example:
あそぶ(play) ⇒ あそんで＋います（playing）
たべる（eat） ⇒ たべて＋います(eating）
する（do） ⇒ して＋います(doing）
When one changes a verb into the progressive form,
it needs to conjugate it and add います/いる at the end.
(The two answers above are just right, I think)

it comes from the verb "asobu" (to play) and it means 'playing'.
the sentence means 'the children are playing'
