At the beginning and end of an activity, find an instrument that you can ding or play. The children then sit in Neat & Tidy Pose waiting for the next game or activity. Neat & Tidy (or Easy Pose) is crossed legged (Sukhasana). Palms are ideally facing upwards to create a feeling of readiness to receive information.
We don't usually ask for eyes closed, but we like children to touch the tips of their fore fingers and thumbs. This is the practise of the Gyana Mudra, which increases concentration, creativity, and is a gesture of knowledge.

"Jelly like shoulders, loose and relaxed (give them a wobble!"
"Chest lifted but ribs relaxed"
