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!

You can say a number of things such as:
 
- You may go back to your seats (desk) now
- Please go back to your seats (desk)
- Let �s go back to our seats (desk) now

Hello,

I use "Please take your seats".. 

I Personally find a bit rude the phrase "Go back to your seat" 

Always bear in mind the power of magic word "please"Wink

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."
