I have found that children loved to be recognized. I sometimes have my children line up by saying something like...." If you have one a blue shirt, line up. If you are wearing sandals, line up. If you have on a watch, line up. If your first name begins with a "T", line up. So forth and so on.... I hope this helps.

I don't know if its practical, but my granddaughters nursery teacher puts a song on or sings a song, then they either have to line up before the end of the song ends or have to get dressed after PE before the song ends. The first one gets a token in their jar. Five tokens and they get a little reward at the end of the week. Don't know if your childrens age group are a bit young or not.

Draw a straight line and a crocked line...Do a countdown and they all have to be in the line by the time you finish and also have them pretend tha together they form a shuttle and cannot take off until they are all lined up. The crocked line is to remind them that shuttles don't take off, those are broken (doing the broken shuttle is just for fun).. Good luck

not sure how old the children are, but how about giving them all a number and either trying to get into line sorting themselves out, or shouting out the numbers, could be alphabet/height. Just as long as it's fun and safe.
enjoy

i worked in a day care i had two classes, 1 2/2 tp 2 1/2 and then 2 1/2 to 3 1/2. SING SING SING!!! make up a song and sing it every time you want them to line up this repetition will help them associate the times they should do certian things. make new words to songs you already know like london bridge. this is how we line up now line up now line up now this is how we line up now lets get together

Tell them they need to look like a giant Caterpillar, have them stand in a line with their arms on each others shoulders.

The old idea of children connecting and making sounds like a train ........always works. (Good Luck)

My daughter is 4 and they sing, "put your back against the fence, against the fence" (if you're happy and you know it) and inside the classroom they chant this:
"show me that you're ready. Ready to go outside! (sounds like NANA BOO-BOO to me)
then shout:
Line up! hands down! eyes on the door and ZIP your lips!"

Get them to do it by eye-colour, lightest to darkest. It's fun, and gets them interacting.

tell them they are in a marching band, or they are army solders going to march.
