How to express this normally?

0Imaging in a class, I want to give the students my handouts -- a pile of intruction sheets. I do not want to distribute them by myself; I want students to get their own copy by doing the "pick-up and pass" thing. (Sounds silly, huh?) Then what I should say to make students understand what I want to do?02br

00Thanks a lot.0-

0I presume that you have arranged how to get the instructions into the hand of the first student(s)-- usually, the teacher gives such things to the first student in each row of seats. As you do that: '01i 00Please take one and pass the rest to the next student02i 00'. 0-

0It is great that you understood what I want. But that sounds a little formal. Is there a shorter and more casual expression? I expect something like the line "Please stand up." Anyway, thank you for your time. 01blockquote
