"Let me see your 'Primary Pose'."
That's what I say when I want my Primary kids to give me their attention and be reverent.
The very first time I do Primary, when I'm new to the calling, I explain the Primary Pose.
I hold up my camera and I ask the kids what they would do if I wanted to take their picture. Well, they all start striking different silly poses.
Then I tell them that in Primary there is a special pose too. It's called the 'Primary Pose' and this is what it looks like. Then I strike the pose:
arms folded
mouth closed and smiling
quiet feet
eyes on the speaker
I get them to all try it. From then on, when ever I say, "let me see your Primary Pose," that is what I get.
My kiddos LOVE to show me the pose!!
