Finnish translation:kirjoita taululle!
Explanation:
It's just taulu, not liitutaulu. Often today, a white board anyway. You would say kirjoita (write) instead of mene (go to) as the actual action is writing.

agree  Timo Lehtilä: Yes, and if the board is near the teacher (as it often is), s/he can first tell "Tule tänne taululle!" and maybe then give further instructions: "Kirjoita suomeksi 'My teacher is marvelous'!"
