Get the bugs out http://basicprimarymusic.blogspot.com/2011/09/get-bugs-out.html
I did this activity last week and it was a hit. However, I changed it and taped one bug onto a balloon for each song. After we sang the song and perfected the problems I chose a child to come swat the balloon with a fly swatter with a pin taped to it.

Exploding cups: http://singingmagic.blogspot.com/2012/05/erupting-cups-singing-time-review-game.html
The pom pom game is my
primary kids' favorite game EVER.
Take three identical plastic cups (not see-through) and one pom pom. Put the cups
upside down on the table - the pom pom under one of the cups. Move the cups
around like a magician, trying to make it so the kids don't know where the
pom pom is. When you stop moving the cups, call on one of the kids to guess
which cup is hiding the pom pom. If they guess correctly, the child gets to
choose the next song to sing. If they don't get it, the chorister gets to
choose the song to sing. I use it when we have only a couple of minutes left
or when I need an emergency sub lesson because I've had to call someone last
minute (you can use paper cups from the kitchen and a wad of paper if you're
desperate)
