You could try:

1. Flashing lights on and off.
2. Coaches Whistle.
3. Waving Red Flag/Green Flag.
4. "Catch a Bubble" technique.
5. The standard "One, Two, Three".
6. A flashing light wand. ($2)

I am sure there are more, those are just some I have used at one time or another.

"Avoid flicking the lights. It sends children messages, especially boys, to run around fast."
