LDS Conference Activities and Ideas

March 23, 2014 By Michelle Barneck 6 Comments

LDS General Conference is just two weeks away! Are you ready for it? We’ve teamed up with nine blogger friends to bring you our favorite ideas to make your conference the best experience it can be! Stay tuned for a huge conference themed giveaway coming your way tomorrow! For today, be sure to check out the link up at the bottom of this post to see everyone’s favorite conference ideas! Now for mine! Here is a round up of 10 of my favorite General Conference activity ideas for kids.

See the whole post.

1. Conference Bracelets
Pick a topic for each color of bead or rainbow loom band and create jewelry based on what people speak on. Then have something fun to wear that will remind you of what you learned.

3. Conference Building Blocks
Talk about building on a firm foundation and use masking tape to label each block with a topic. Build something (house, temple) 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 facing the opening toward the television screen showing general conference. Read the article and do the color by number of King Benjamin from the August 2001 Friend magazine p. 18-19.

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.

5. General Conference Easter Egg Hunt
