Answer
Maddie,

Kittens play extremely roughly with each other.  Cat skin is extremely tough, and they can look like they are killing each other.  It is no different than a couple of brothers play wrestling. So, they will not hurt each other and they are behaving perfectly normally for kittens this age.

What you will need to do is to socialize them to people.  We humans have very soft skin, compared to cats, and cannot tolerate the scratching biting play behavior little kittens do.

So, a way of getting them over that is to play the "picking one up, talking softly, stroking" game.  If the kitten begins to bite or scratch you, put it down and walk away.  Kittens love the "picking one up, talking softly, stroking" game and get the idea pretty quickly to play nicer with people.
