It's that time again! Two weeks from today is the LDS General Conference. It is such an exciting time to get to hear from our leaders, but can sometimes be long for the little ones. Here's a little general conference packet of sorts to help keep the little ones entertained.
I sing "I Love to See the Temple" to my boys every night before bed so I thought making a temple game would be just the ticket. This is so simple and has variations for older kids and younger. For little ones, it can be made in to a file folder game where they match the temples. For older kids, it can be a game of memory where they turn them upside down and try to match.
I made three different versions hoping to catch a lot of the favorites: Utah Temples, Temples Under Construction, and Readers' Favorites that I requested on our Facebook page. (If you have a fave not on one of these, you can list it there and if I get enough requests I may do more sheets.)

Temple Memory/Match General Conference Packet
All images are from google images, just type in the temple name (ex: Rexburg Idaho Temple) and they will be on the first page of images.
Just print two of each sheet that you want on card stock, laminate, cut out, and you are good to go! I love that this general conference packet can also go beyond conference as a quiet activity for church meetings.
To print:
- Right click and save, then open with Windows Photo Gallery which allows you to print choosing your paper size (letter).
- OR
- Hold ctrl and click on the picture you want. That will open the large image in a new tab and you can choose to print in the upper left hand corner menu. Do a print preview first and choose the zoom that works best for you. Mine was about 140%.

Michelle, these ideas for General Conference packets are so great! I love General Conference but having children running around sure makes it hard to listen. Plus, I want my children to feel like they are getting something out of conference. I love these! Thanks so much for making and sharing!
So great! I loved looking at all the temples. Thanks for including my "favorites"
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing these, they are great! My children are going to love them.
I love the temple matching game! My son loves to look at pictures of the temple and he will love this. I also wanted to let you know that I'm going to be sharing this with our readers tomorrow in a collection of General Conference activities.
Thanks!
This has the BEST tips for printing. I didn't know this information and it helped me. Thanks so MUCH. Now I must make a Match game for my grandchildren.
