off you go

Time to leave

Off you go is a phrase signaling that someone should leave or begin moving, often said to children or in contexts where the speaker has authority: Off you go, then—don't be late for school.

The tone ranges from affectionate dismissal to brisk instruction.

It can also encourage someone to start an activity: You've got everything you need—off you go.
