							| The right expression 
 |  
							| Dear collegues, 
 what do you say to your pupils when you want them to go back to their seats, after a game or an activity in which they were free to go round the classroom?
 "Go back to your ...????"
 
 Thanks!

							| Hello, 
 I use "Please take your seats".. 
 I Personally find a bit rude the phrase "Go back to your seat"

							| With very young children, with very limited English knowledge, I just say "Sit down".   When I was teaching (not ESL) teenagers, I would say something like "Can everyone go back to their seat now, please."  |  20 Feb 2011
