Conference Roundup-Round 3 or whatever...

Just a few more quick and cute ideas that you could incorporate:

This is such a cute idea from mishmashmom.blogspot.com. You can view the post HERE.  She took the printables everyone created after conference and made mini copies.  Then, they were "preserved" in a jar for whenever her VT ladies needed a boost.  This could be a great way for the girls to remember main ideas from conference!  

This cute printable is made all to go on one sheet!  It is from lifesjourneytoperfection.blogspot.com and you can get the file HERE.  I love that it is mini and you could tie it up with a little bag of m&ms or whatever for their bingo game.  

This next activity is something that would work best with older girls, but they could definitely get the whole family involved.  It's Fantasy General Conference Brackets! 

You can go HERE for the 2014 version.

 I think it's a super cute and creative idea to keep the whole family engaged.  This would also be a great idea for YW.  

And another FABULOUS printable from courtneyaitken.blogspot.com.  This might be my new favorite!  You can get the pdf  HERE.  Have fun!  And enjoy this weekend!

Conference Roundup

It's getting to be that time of year again!  General Conference!  There are so many fabulously creative people out there, that I thought I would do a roundup of some great ideas and put them all in one spot for you.  I love the activities we have done centered around conference.  The girls love learning about the prophet and the general authorities and we always talk about what they learned.  So, here are some super cute ideas to get those creative juices flowing!  Or just shamelessly copy, like I do!

This is a darling reminder for conference from Marci Coombs.  It is designed for YW, but you could totally do it for activity days!  You can see the original post and free printable HERE.

This next activity is super simple and effective.  It is from lds.org.  You pick a different item to eat for each key word you hear at a session.  I was thinking it would be easy to make up like a bag of trail mix for each girl and they could use that for their treat as they listened.  The original article is HERE.

This is a darling memory game that I found on beehive messages.  I love that the descriptive card has visual reminders of each apostle's life story.  It makes them more real to the girls when they can think about them as actual people!  You can get the game HERE.  

The next thing I found was a really cute printable that goes along with a pack of m&ms.  This is from Courtney Aiken.  She delivered it to her YW ahead of time.  I think AD girls could maybe have a short lesson about prophets and then at least start on their list and discuss some questions that they felt weren't too private.  Or you could just use it as a reminder!  

I love the idea of conference journals!  This one is great because it has printable tabs that are pix of the 1st presidency and the 12 apostles.  This is from the golden seven and I love that you can use a square punch to punch out the pix!  You can print this fabulous project HERE.

And one more:  I love this MINI conference packet.  The first time I did conference packets, I spent a fortune printing them out!  These are compact and cute!  This great idea is from fluffy bunny feet designs.  You can find the pdf HERE.

I hope you find some inspiration for a conference based activity!  

Conference Goodness

Okay, I know this is after the fact, but we did a Conference Activity Day the week before General Conference.  I thought I would go ahead and share what we did, because six months from now, we will have conference again!  Let me start by saying that none of these ideas are original, and I hope that I give credit to the right people.  Thanks for sharing all of your amazing ideas with the rest of us!

We started off with a review of the song, Latter Day Prophets.  You can just grab the pix off of lds.org and use the prophets' pictures for your visual aids.  Next, we divided into two groups and played two different games.  The first group played a version of Don't Eat Pete, which we cleverly renamed Don't Eat the Apostle!  Or, you could also say Prophet, since they are all prophets, seers, and revelators.  We used this great picture of the First Presidency and the Twelve as our game board, found on Pinterest. I think you can just click on this and save it, since it is a jpeg.  If not, click here for the googledoc.

For those of you who have never played this game, here are the rules:

1.  Place a piece of candy on every picture.
2.  One person, who is "it", leaves the room.
3.  Everyone else decides who shouldn't be "eaten"
4.  The person who is "it" comes back and as they pick up candy, they name the apostle underneath.  If they pick the apostle who shouldn't be eaten, everyone yells, "Don't Eat the Apostle"!
5.  Repeat until you are all deaf.

The second group played memory with these cards
from a year of FHE

These cards are great, because they not only have a picture of all the apostles, but there is an interesting fact on each one.

We also learned all the apostles names, in order of seniority, while pointing at their picture and singing their names to the tune of the  "Books of the Book of Mormon" song.  You can find a picture of the Apostles in order, like this one, also here at A Year of FHE. 

To finish off the night, we played 1st Presidency Fruit Basket!  I gave each of the girls a picture of one of the members of the First Presidency.  Luckily, it was warm enough to play outside, because this got a little rowdy!

I sent each girl home with this great Conference Activity Packet that I got from sugardoodle.

.  It was a great way to prepare for General Conference and become more familiar with the prophet and the leaders of our church.  Enjoy in six months!  :)
