Man it has been a bit since my last post! There are times in your life when it gets a little crazy and the past few months have been that way.

 A Couple More General Conference Worksheets for This Weekend!!


I just updated my spring General Conference Worksheet so it says "April" instead of "Easter". This is a fun worksheet for Primary age kiddos, even for youth as well.

With teaching Seminary, I wanted to come up with a worksheet that the students could use for their own personal study of General Conference. I am also using this worksheet for make up work. What I love about this worksheet, is that it really makes you think about, what you got from the talk and how you are going to apply it into your life.

Colorable General Conference Bingo Handout Idea Great for Primary and Youth

Colorable General Conference Bingo Handout Idea Great for Primary and Youth,



General Conference is one of my very most favorite things!! Being able to listen to direction and guidance from the Lord's servant's really is, just the best!! I feel like every age group can listen and come away with something they get out of Conference. We have always tried to make it a family event. We usually are all in the same room, our living room, watching General Conference together.

I know that it can be difficult for little ones, or even teenagers. So I've always liked to provide them with something to do. My current calling is serving in our Ward Primary, I really wanted to give all of our primary children something to get them excited and encourage them to listen to General Conference. I felt like my mission was accomplished on Sunday when I handed them out and the kids were so excited to get them!

I decided to do a small and simple General Conference Bingo. I will also be sending an email out to the families with other resources that they can use. 


So, a little bit about these Bingo cards. The Primary children can use them a couple of different ways. I had attached fruit snacks to the bingo cards, so, they can use the fruit snacks to mark their spaces. When they see or hear the item, they can mark it with a fruit snack. The other option is to color in the spaces when they see or hear the item in the space. It was so funny, because one of the kids said, "Then we can have the fruit snack as our reward". So, yes, then they could just eat the fruit snacks. 

I've made the printable so that there are 4 to a page. I printed them off onto card stock. It is black and white, so it is really easy to copy.

Digital Watercolor Printable of First Presidency and Twelve Apostles

Digital Watercolor Printable of First Presidency and Twelve Apostles:


When I saw the picture of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in Rome in front of the Christus Statue and the statues of the original twelve apostles, I knew that I had to do a digital watercolor of it! 

What a momentous event to have all of them in Rome for the dedication of the temple. How blessed we are to live in a time of prophets and apostles. I loved hearing each of their testimonies on the social media channels and the video of them reciting "The Living Christ", while in Rome.

General Conference is coming up and I am so excited to listen to their messages. How amazing is it to be taught the words of the Lord! The other day I used this watercolor to help my children learn the apostles and First Presidency. I had them guess who was who. I know that they listen so much better to conference when they recognize the leader. 

For a limited time I am offering this digital watercolor as a free pdf download.

October 2017 General Conference Quote Jar for Visiting Teaching or Personal Progress

Read below to find out more about the 2017 October 2017 General Conference Quote Jar and how you can use it for Visiting Teaching and Personal Progress,


I love November and May because we get to focus on the messages from General Conference for our Visiting Teaching. Last May, I had made a General Conference quote jar. I loved it so much, I thought I would do it again.

It would also be a fun idea for the young women to make for a Personal Progress activity. Or even a girl could use it as one of her 10 hour projects.

They are so easy to put together. You just need a canning jar, or some other container to put them in. 


Click on the printable below to print out the quote slips. (If you'd like you could print them on normal white paper or different color papers)

Cut strips and then curl them onto a pencil or fold them up and place them in the jar.

There is a lid cover also. Print cut out the lid cover and place it on the lid.

Cut a strip of black scrapbook paper and wrap around the jar and place the circle General Conference tag on the outside.


It is encouraged that each day, you take a slip out of the jar. Read the quote and then ponder about it. How can you better apply that message into you life. If you would like to study it further, then find that talk and study it. Here is a link to October 2017 General Conference Messages.

How to Make General Conference a Family Event!!

Check out these ways to Make General Conference a Family Event...


This post is sponsored & may contain affiliate links. See the full disclosure.

For me, the month before General Conference is like the month before Christmas! I can hardly wait for it to get here!! So, why do I love conferences so much??? It's a) receiving guidance and knowledge from God's prophets and b) being together as a family while listening to this counsel!

Below are some resources to help make General Conference a family event...

Prepare as a family....

Weeks leading up to General Conference, have Family Home Evenings that focus on prophets, revelation, the Holy Ghost, Guidance from Heavenly Father, etc. Here are so great places to find some FHE for just that:


Growing Up With Conference Ebook
This ebook is chuck full of ideas all about General Conference. It's fun to see the pictures they place throughout the book of them growing up with General Conference. As well as the memories they made as they shared conference together as a family. 

Picture courtesy of "Growing Up With Conference Ebook"
You will find in the ebook, several FHE ideas about conference, as well as activity ideas for during and after conference and some fun yummy recipes!! Seriously, guys there are SO many ideas in this book! There are ideas for every age group too. I think some of my favorites were the activity ideas for during conference! I of course loved the General Conference journals and I also liked the General Conference Bags! To purchase the ebook visit Amazon or Book's & Things.


I have several ideas on the blog to help prepare for General Conference, including some Sharing Time ideas, that can be easily converted to Family Home Evenings.

A round up of tons of ideas to prepare for, during and after conference.

Sharing General Conference Together as a family...

Here are some fun ideas of things you could do together as a family to make General Conference memorable:

Have a family meal tradition. We seem to have a tradition of going over to my parents house for some dutch oven dinner and to watch a session of General Conference together. It's fun to have good food and make extended family memories!

We also have a tradition for the Priesthood session. The guys all attend the session and go out to eat afterwards, while us girls we take the rest of the kiddos and go out to eat and then come back to the house and watch a movie or talk, while the kiddos play.


Another tradition we have, is before conference begins my boys gather up coloring/activity books, some quiet games, & books and meet ready in their spots in our family room to watch General Conference together. 

Before conference they are asked to think of a question they have for Heavenly Father and then to think of that question, listen to conference, and see if they receive an answer to their question. It's amazing, everyone always seems to receive an answer. 


Check out the Growing Up With Conference Ebook to see some of their fun traditions! Especially their yummy recipes. (Amazon, Book's & Things)

Red Headed Hostess has some super fun packets, to keep the kiddos entertained during General Conference too!!


Have you ever thought about attending a session of conference at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City?!? It is such a neat experience, my sister in law, mother and I did this once for the Women's Session and it was the neat.

The people at Temple Square have put together and amazing Guide to Attending General Conference. It is such a great resource, it has everything you would ever need to know about visiting Temple Square and attending General Conference. Here is a guide to all you need to know about Temple Square. 

Applying the Teachings of General Conference into our family Life...

When those two days of being spiritual fed are over, what do you do next??? You apply those teaching into your lives, right!! 


One thing that we love to do is, after Conference is over, we discuss what was our kids favorite talks. Then, I often plan a Family Home Evening around those talks. We continue to learn from them. Here are samples of those Family Home Evenings: Family Home Evening on Going To The RescueGeneral Conference April 2015: A Focus on Elder Holland's TalkFamily Home Evening on Oct. 2014 General Conference Talk by Elder Ballard "Stay in the Boat and Hold on!"

Some of my friends have shared, that they order the General Conference Edition of the Ensign for each of their Family Members. That way each family member has their own copy that they can read and mark and take notes in. 

I also, love when the church comes out with the Mormon Messages that are based on the General Conference talks. My kids love watching those and will often ask to watch them either for FHE, during scripture time, or if they have time in the morning before school. 

To Sum Things UP...


General Conference can be a GREAT way to make memories as a family. It is our responsibility as parents to make sure our children are spiritually nurtured. As they see that the teachings of the prophets are important to us, it will be important to them. They will be just excited as we are when it comes time for General Conference. I know that this is true with my kids! They get so excited when General Conference time rolls around!! 

I'd love to hear what traditions you have as a family for General Conference, share them in the comments below!!  If you'd like to see more....
