Welcome to the forum. Please fill in your profile. The answer would depend on whether it is Spain or Latin America. .

For Latin America here is an image:

For Spain it would be callaos, and sentaos instead.

En América Latina:

¡Cállense! ¡Siéntense!

Otras variantes:

¡Que se callen! ¿Se quieren callar? ¿Se callan? ¡A callar! ¡Silencio!

En España:

¡Callaros! ¡Sentaros!

Callaos. Sentaos. from Callad and Sentad. The "r" gets dropped. - Daniela2041, Jun 23, 2016
I mean the "d" - Daniela2041, Jun 23, 2016
You are right, Daniela, but in colloquial Spanish some people use the infinitive. - LuisCache, Jun 24, 2016
