line leader

Front of procession

Line leader is a position given to a child, typically in elementary school, who walks at the front of the class when students move through hallways in single file.

Teachers rotate the role as a small honor or reward: Emma was so excited to be line leader today.

The term belongs to the vocabulary of early childhood education.
