I call them "Position Cards" which are simply drawings of stick figures in different positions. Got these from this site, sized them about 1/4 page, laminated them and put them on a ring for easy flipping. I mostly use them with faster songs. As the kids sing I flip the next card and they try to get in that same position. It's quite entertaining to watch, especially if the teachers try! *In fact, for a future song I think I'll have the teachers demonstrate and the kids will love it.
My favorite use of these so far has been for "Book of Mormon Stories" pg 118, because normally I'm not a big fan of that song, especially with the kind of cheesy hand signals. This gave them something to do that was different, but still involved movement. It was especially funny when I sped it up towards the end and was flipping them pretty fast, almost had to stop conducting I was laughing so hard, and they were having a great time!
