General Conference Coloring Page

By 8 Comments

LDS General Conference is almost here! I love hearing the uplifting words from our leaders and look forward to their messages. Our kiddos are small so unless I have some arsenal under my belt to keep them entertained and quiet there is little to no chance I will be hearing anything. My kids LOVE to color so I created this little fall themed general conference coloring page to keep them busy so mommy can watch.

Little kids can just color it, but those who can read can color it when they hear the keywords or scriptures from the books listed.
Feel free to use it for your kiddos!

Reference pages: Books of Book of Mormon, Scarecrow/pumpkins, Corn Stalks

10 LDS Conference Activities for Kids

By 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.

close up multi colored beads heap in box Stock Photo - 99702421. 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

General Conference Packet

By 20 Comments

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/MatchGeneral Conference Packet
Utah Temples
Temples Readers Requests
Temples Under Construction

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%.
