General Conference Preparation
I've made a 'can' for each of my kids this year and have filled them with pens, felt tips, crayons (for the younger ones), and some sweets...I find doing these quirky little things generally helps with my kids concentration and also they get really excited for Conference too. I printed the phrase "I 'can' listen to the Prophets and Apostles" on some card and used lots of my 'DIY Mod Podge' to stick it on. Voila!...job done :)
I put a big packet of love heart sweets in each one and the plan is each time they hear the word love (or something about love) being mentioned they get to have one....I'm guessing the younger ones will have finished theirs before the opening prayer, lol?!!?!
General Conference Review
Very similar to the above except with the words 'I 'can' listen and obey the Prophets and Apostles'. On the Monday after Conference for FHE we are going to go through our General Conference Notebooks and decide for each talk what conference square picture to stick at the top of their named lollipop stick.
Then on the back of the stick we will write a goal/idea of what we can do to follow the council given and review these during the next six months for FHE/family councils/goal setting etc.
This is going to sit on our mantle and I'm hoping it will be a daily reminder for the children and us to look through and remind us of the talks and council given at conference :)
Looking for other ideas?? The website shown below has a stack load of great links for all different kinds of activities, colouring, games etc, why not take a look it's great :)
lds.org also has a page specifically designated for General Conference Activities for Children too.
Hope you enjoy watching Conference with your family and loved ones xx.
