Dice: What to do with a dice...
3 suggestions
 

Melanie Edwards, CA:
You could have a chart with ways to sing corresponding to the numbers, for example:

  1 - loud         or       boys sing         or         opera voice
  2 - soft                   girls sing                       sing every other word
  3 - stacatto             teachers sing                cowboy voice
  4 - legato                brown eyes sing            stand up to sing
  5 - slow                  blue eyes sing               march and sing
  6 - fast                   everybody sing               face the back to sing
 
  It could be fun if you had one side of the chart with one set of ways to sing and another set of ways to sing on the other side so that you have more options.

Nancy, MI:

I am making six dice.  Here are the things I'm putting on them:
 
#1    

* Stand on "key" words

* Sing A Capella
* I sing/You sing
* Lean from side to side (close eyes or clap on successive turns)
* Sing like a bird (I have 4 birds on sticks--a parrot (say the words), a canary (sing your prettiest), an owl (sing who, who), and a hummingbird (hum)
* Kids vs. Teachers
 
#2    

* Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Move head from side to side, lift and lower shoulders, bend knees in time to the rythm of the song, stand on one foot--choose one or try to do all four at once)
*  Choose a color (the child picks a color and you choose children to stand or to sing that are wearing that color, have that color of eyes or hair, are wearing that color of shoes, etc.)

* Boys sing/Girls sing (I have elastic wristbands in blue and pink--they sing when I lead with that hand OR use a flipper)
* Answer a Question about the song (get it right-- the teachers sing, get it wrong--the kids sing, ask for help--come to the front and sing it with 5 friends)
* Staccato/Legato
* Primary Colors (use red, yellow and blue flags--divide the kids into three groups and have them stand and sing the words when their color of flag is held up)
 
#3

* Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Nose (close eyes and sing, plug ears and sing, whisper sing, touch nose and sing--do one or all)

* Clap a Rythm (especially good for "Follow the Prophet")
* Leave out a word (choose a key word) (variations: stand on the word, clap on the word, use sign language on that word or use a Stop/Go sign)
* Sing facing backwards
* Fermata (use a fermata sign to hold out different words)
*  Sing by classes
 
#4    

* Hum

* Race the Top (spin a top and see if you can sing a verse before it stops spinning)
* 3-Headed Singer (choose 3 singers to come to the front and try to sing the song with each singing one word going from person to person)
* Musical Instruments (choose a musical instrument [I have homemade] to play to the song)
* Fast/Slow  (using signs, either sing faster or slower)
* Loud/Soft  (I have a crescendo/decrescendo flipper OR you could use a stoplight and flashlight to sing louder on green, softer on yellow, stop singing on red)
 
#5  (I'm using this one for the Seniors only)
       

* Birthdays (choose certain months to sing, choose even or odd birthdays, choose by year they were born, etc. to decide who sings [or who stands to sing] on what key words or phrases, etc.)

* Each person sing one word of the song (you go around the room)
* Musical Chairs (each row has one extra chair at the end.  Then you choose a word or words and whenever you sing that word, you have to move over one chair.  It's really fun on Scripture Power to change chairs on all words that start with an "S" or a "P".  My Seniors have so much fun with this)
* Beat vs. Rythm (you try to tap out the beat of the song with one hand and tap out the melody rythm with the other--almost like rubbing your stomach and patting your head, lol)
* Whistle/Sing (flipper card with pic of someone whistling on one side and pic of someone singing on the other)
 
#6 Games
* Hide the Note
* Name That Tune
* What's My Line? (go back and forth between two teams OR using key words, have one child draw a word from the song from a bag.  The team gets 1 point for saying the line the word is in, or 3 points for singing it)
* Word King/Queen
* 1, 2, 3 Can (Draw a number from a can.  1- they get to hear 3 words from the song and try to guess what song it is,  2- choose a tune map and try to figure out which song it is, 3- Answer a question from the song)
* Walkie Talkies (draw a song, draw a card with a place in the meeting house [like outside the chapel,.by the Bishop's office, etc.]You send a teacher with a walkie talkie to that spot and the children try to sing loud enough for the teacher to hear, then they tell us on the walkie talkie if they can hear us .  ALL the kids seem to LOVE walkie talkies!)

Nicole H., UT: Here's what's in my files:
 
To Make Dice: Use velcro so you can alternate pictures.
Dice 1:  Use 2 dice.  One has songs, one has ways to sing.
Dice 2:  Make word strips (1-6).  Sing song a couple of times.  Throw a dice.  Take the wordstrip down.
Dice 3: Each side has game (name that tune, pictionary, a capella, challenge leaders).
Dice 4: Each side has a way to sing.  Lion-sing loud, turtle-sing slow, lamb-sing soft, owl-sing "who", ?-let them choose, rabbit-sing fast.
Dice 5: Yellow dice is "which song."  Red dice is "who sings."  Blue dice is "how to sing"
