10 LDS Conference Activities for Kids

March 17, 2012 By Michelle Barneck 10 Comments

With three little ones of my own, I know it can be hard to be able to sit down and peacefully listen to General Conference. I am all for having a bag of tricks to keep the kiddos interested and/or even quiet so here are a few LDS Conference Activities I have come up with and used through the years.

1. Conference Bracelets
Pick a topic for each color of bead and create jewelry based on what things people speak on. Then have something colorful and fun to wear.

3. Conference Blocks

Talk about building on a firm foundation and use masking tape to label building blocks with topics. Build something using the building blocks of our faith by adding block each time you hear one of the keywords.

4. Pitch Your Tent
Make a tent with blankets with the door facing toward the television. Read the article and do the color by number of King Benjamin from the August 2001 Friend p. 18-19. What kid doesn’t love a good fort?

2. Conference Sundae
Earn a new ingredient (banana, ice cream scoop(s), hot fudge, caramel, nuts, whipped cream, etc) for every talk they listen to or take notes about. Treats are always a big motivator at our house.
5. General Conference Easter Egg Hunt

Print the eggs from the link to the post above and fill your basket as you listen to the talks. This is especially great for the spring conferences that fall near or on Easter!

6. Temple Memory Game

Link above contains 3 printable versions: Utah, under construction, and reader request.

7. LDS General Conference Coloring Page

8. Temple Sewing Card

Just print the temple card on cardstock from post link above and laminate. Then punch holes on dots, add a ribbon and you are good to go!

9. General Conference Coloring

10. First Presidency Coloring Page

We hope you enjoy this collection of LDS Conference Activities.

What activities do you have up your sleeves for conference?

Thanks for your ideas! I bookmarked these for this weekend and can’t wait to use them. We went to the distribution center and got 2 copies of the latter day prophet picture, I cut them up and made a memory game from the small squares. I also cut up (and laminated) a few of her favorite pictures (first presidency, local temple, Savior) and made puzzles, though it felt a little sacrilegious cutting them into pieces. And we got a picture of the latest quorum of the 12 + presidency and have a little paper “frame” that goes over the face of who is speaking. Your ideas sparked my own, thanks!

These are great ideas! I especially love the fact that you already have the dots printed so I know where to punch the holes. I’ll add these to the activity bags I’ve been posting on my blog.

I love these ideas, especially the bracelet idea. Too bad I have boys who wouldn’t wear a bracelet even if I bribed them. I think I’ll add a few of these ideas to the General Conference activity bags I’ve posted on my blog.
