Not sure what you mean? As in the teacher taking some object belonging to a student to keep during class as a 'punishment' e.g.?

For example in an exam, they have some notes, books, portables etcc.. on the table, and you want them to put them away ??????

Estoy de acuerdo con Empanada: "Put your stuff away".

O, bueno, "Clear your desks" (quitad las cosas de vuestras mesas).

hi RDB - it is correct to say "once you finish...", "once you're finished..."
or "once you have (you've) finished...".

Guardad las cosas = Put everything away / Put your things away.

When you have finished you can leave.

Sí! Me encanta la canción.

And ... in my classroom, I would never say "Put your stuff away." Although it may technically be correct, as the teacher, it is way tooooo casual to use the word "stuff". I would always say "Put your things away" or "Put everything away", etc.

I guess it depends on the class and which material is being taught or put away..

Just kidding Lou Ann, you are right of course it is educationally more correct, sound and responsible to say 'things' instead of 'stuff'.
