Getting Ready for Conference

This week we're getting ready for General Conference so I thought I'd re-post what we did last April to get the kids involved and interested in listening. We'll probably do something similar - I really want my kids to love conference!

This last weekend was General Conference. It's basically a wonderful time to take a couple days and listen to our church leaders' counsel and advice. We really wanted to get our kids involved this year so this is what we did:


We cut pictures out of the Ensign and Friend magazines of topics or words the speakers would say. Each time they heard something they got to put a sticker on the picture and get a jelly bean.

It was fun and helped them get involved and listed to what was being said. Plus, they loved the treats and the stickers!
