Conference: It's for the Whole Family

It is time to get ready for General Conference and so with it approaching quickly I thought I would post a few links to some wonderful Conference packets/games and a few Apostle get to know you activities that others have created to keep their children both entertained and participating in conference. Most of the links I found on one of my favorite sites - sugardoodle.net. You can find so many ideas and printables on this site. I just had to put a little plug in.

“Conference: It’s for the Whole Family,” Ensign, Mar. 1985, 41

"Helping general conference become a meaningful experience for children is often a challenge. But it is important for children as well as adults to listen to and appreciate the words of our General Authorities." This article has many suggestions from other parents on how to help the whole family get something out of conference.

I hope that some of these activities help both you and your children get something out of this General Conference.
