With two 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 quiet so here are a few LDS Conference Activities I have come up with through the years.
1. Conference BraceletsPick a topic for each color of bead and create jewelry based on what people speak on. Then have something fun to wear.
3. Conference Blocks Talk about building on a firm foundation and use masking tape to label each block with a topic. 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 toward the television. Read the article and do the color by number of King Benjamin from the August 2001 Friend p. 18-19.
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.
5. General Conference Easter Egg Hunt
6. Temple Memory Game (3 versions: Utah, under construction, reader request)
7. LDS General Conference Coloring Page
8. Temple Sewing Card
9. General Conference Coloring
10. First Presidency Coloring Page
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!
