The LDS General Conference is coming up in the next couple weeks and I am so excited!
General Conference weekends are some of my favorite weekends of the year.
(Who doesn’t love the chance to go to church in your PJs?)
We started a small tradition for the Sunday sessions of conference where we invite our friends over and we watch the 1st session, have a yummy brunch with cinnamon rolls and a fruit platter, then watch the second session.
This year I thought it would be fun to print some activities to help the kids pay attention and keep busy. Problem is all the printable activities I saw were too mature for my young kids- word searches, crossword puzzles etc. just weren”t going to cut it, so I made my own! You are welcome to use them too if you’d like!
Here is what each page looks like:
Directions:
-Download the General Conference Activities PDF HERE
-Print the document
-Cut each page in half
- Add a staple to the corner
…and you’re done!
Feel free to print them off as many times as you’d like,
but please do not sell them for profit or claim them as your own.
Have Fun!!!

About Stephanie
This is very cute and I might have to do something similar for our Easter services this weekend… thanks for the great idea!
Wow!!!! This is really cool!!! But we have only one girl in our Branch who can write and she never comes for General Conference =)))) Others are too young ))) But the idea is really great!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love those sheets!! I just have to wait until my kids are old enough…
Such a fun packet! I'm going to file this one away until my little one gets a little bigger. Maybe this year I will just print one out for me:) Thanks for featuring me on your side bar, what an honor!
This is perfect for my little ones!!! Thank you so much!!!
Growing up coloring during conference was part of the tradition. I love that your book will help my little ones pay attention while they color. The tie idea is cute! And I may just print off a spare copy for me so I can color the flowers while I listen. Thanks so much for sharing!
Is it seriously time for that already? I could have sworn last year's just ended. XD
Too cute! These are awesome, thanks a ton!

I am going to post the link on facebook for all my friends that dare to go to conference in the chapel (I will be watching it on the computer with my one and three year olds) Oh how I miss BYU TV!
This is so awesome, thank you!!!
Wish I didn't have to pay for a subscription to that site in order to download or print because it looks really cool.
Beth, you shouldn't have to subscribe to that site- the download should be completely free. Is it asking you to pay something because if so, I will send you the file. I want it available to anyone who wants it!
Let me know if you have problems with it…
What a cute activity! Thank you for sharing! I am not able to download it either…without subscribing to the site. Am I doing something wrong??? Thanks again!

I would love a copy of this as well but it won't let me download without subscribing. I know from other site that scribd starts charging to download older documents they consier and archive.
If you can send me the file I would SO appreciate it!
brownjs7@yahoo.com
Ok, I just added the pages as images to this post, so you should all have access to them without having to subscribe to scribd!
Thank you so much!

Very cute Steph. I added your conference packet link to my post and it will publish in about an hour. So fun!!!

Thanks for sharing. I love this for the younger kids. I just copied and pasted into word (horizontal layout), resized it a little and printed. Perfect. Ready for tomorrow. Thanks. Victoria, http://www.obSEUSSed.com
Thanks! I used your packets and the kids are off enjoying them!
Thank you so much!

muito legal!
I am not able to print these. I have young children and this would be perfect for them. Everything else I have found is too mature for them. Could you please send it to me so that I can have it for this weekend!
Thank you!
So cute! I love how you alternate coloring activities (tie, flowers) with talk content activities (3 things Pres. Monson said). Maybe it’ll get the kids to look AND listen to the Conference.
I am having trouble printing too. It’s asking me to subscribe, and I’m having trouble being able to print them when I enlarge them. Help! These are FABULOUS
BRILLIANT work!
THANKS
Ok, if anyone needs this, email me and I will send you the PDF.
I’m having problems as well trying to enlarge and print. Could you send me the file? This is so great!
Hi Jenny, I just update this post with a link to download the entire conference PDF. Hope that helps!
I too would love to receive the file, as I’m not able to download or print the file either. Thanks so much for the hard work YOU put into this so that WE may benefit! I’m hoping this may be the first year I may be able to actually see/hear conference live rather than recorded and watched later!
I just update this post with a link to download the entire conference PDF. Hope that helps!
Thanks for doing this…makes it easier for the rest of us. It’s a super cute idea and I know my girls are going to love it! Usually our primary sends them home with something but that didn’t end up happening this Conference so I just printed yours off. Thanks again and Happy Conference!!!
Thanks for doing all the hard work and put this together. Even my two year old will be able to do some of it.
This is such a cute packet. I love that I can cut the pages in half so I don’t use as much paper. I’ll be adding this to the list of Conference activities I’m posting on my blog. This is a fabulous resource.
OH Noo I just find your blog, this is wonderful! thank you so much for share! greetings from Playa del Carmen, Mexico!
