The inspiration for my activity came from Sunbeam Singing’s post called The Every Last Lyric Game find it HERE. I suggest using this to review for your program! Here’s my song suggestion:
- I Am a Child of God
- One in a Million
- My Heavenly Father Loves Me
You need some dice! I LOVE these big foam dicep -perfect for little hands and they are harder to lose once tossed (Amazon affiliate link):
I’ve also seen individual ones sold at Zurcher’s Party store, Target (once in the dollar section) and a reader said they saw them once at Dollar Tree.
The activity is pretty simple…
For Senior Primary, divide the Primary into 4 teams – red, yellow, blue and green. Each team will get 2 dice in their color (so 8 dice needed). Divide the chalkboard into 4 sections and write the team colors on each section for score keeping.
Move team chairs into a circle so the dice can be quickly passed, or have everyone move to the floor in small circles. Even simpler, have one child from each team come up to the front of the room to roll (depends on the size of your Primary).
To play, start singing the first song. One child from each team will start rolling their 2 dice. As soon as a team gets doubles, they will shout out “DOUBLES.” The singing will immediately stop, and that team has to quickly come up with the rest of the phrase of the song.
If they get it right, their team will get a point on the board. If they do not, continue on with the song with no points. The dice will be passed to the next teammate after anyone on any team rolls “doubles.” Continue to sing all the verses of all the songs. Hopefully everyone will get a few chances to roll the dice.
For Junior Primary have 4 kids come up at a time and roll their dice. No teams. When someone gets doubles, stop and the primary helps that child come up with the rest of the phrase.
Once doubles are rolled, the 4 kids will be rotated to a new group of 4. Hopefully each child will be able to roll a few times.
note: If you find that doubles are not being rolled quickly enough, add in more dic to increase the odds of rolling doubles.

I like it! Nice twist on my idea and those dice are great! So many possibilities!
has anyone in the bishopric or primary presidency complained about using dice (similar to playing cards)?
Hi Drake,
No, I've never had a problem, it has never even crossed my mind that dice would be a problem. Have you had complaints?

Love this!! I'm going to do it next week! TY!!
Perfect! Love this idea. When I'm drawing a blank, I can count on this blog, Camille! Thank you so much. We have the game Tenzie and I am just going to use those dice, probably have two childten come up and have the dice corralled using a cookie sheet?? I didn't see this in time to order big foam dice. I think it will still work. 😉
