The LDS General Conference is a wonderful time to be inspired and uplifted! We created this free General Conference activity packet for kids to help them learn by having fun!
General Conference in our home starts with homemade cinnamon rolls, and includes a Conference Snack Bar or a General Store with Conference Cash. I created the first version of this activity packet several years ago, and it has become a family favorite!
What Is The LDS General Conference
Twice a year the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds a “General Conference”. During the conference the Church’s prophet, and other leaders, speak to Church members and anyone else who would like to participate, and discuss various topics centered around Jesus Christ. For more information you can visit the Church’s website.
LDS Conference Activity Packet
The LDS General Conference is coming up 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 or family over and we watch the 1st session, then we have a yummy brunch with cinnamon rolls and a fruit platter, and then watch the second session. General Conference Sundays are some of my very favorite!
This year I thought it would be fun to print some activities to help the kids pay attention to conference and keep busy so they stay reverent. The problem I found is that all the printable activities I saw were too mature for my young kids – things like word searches and crossword puzzles just weren’t going to cut it, so I made my own! You are welcome to use this General Conference activity packet too if you’d like!

Hope you have an awesome conference weekend!
This idea was originally published on Somewhat Simple in March of 2010.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for creating such a lovely Conference packet for kids. I’ve been searching for a simplified packet for my younger kids, and I stumbled upon this and love it. Thank you for sharing your talent so my kids can get more out of Conference! 🙂
Your comment made my day! I’m so glad you enjoyed the conference packet!
I am excited for this for my grandchildren
I hope you guys enjoyed conference! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!!
Would love a conference packet
Thanks Leah!
I must be missing something. Where is the link for the conference packet? I entered my name and email address but the email I received didn’t have a link for the conference packet.
Hi Rachel – The file isn’t emailed, it should load in a separate screen as soon as you hit submit on the form. If you have pop-ups disabled on your computer it might not work. If you shoot me an email I am happy to send you the file – steph (at) somewhatsimple (dot) com
Hi! I LOVE this! I just got called into the primary presidency in our ward in France and would LOVE to give something like this to the kids for general conference… there are seriously limited resources in French so I was wondering… any chance I could get an editable version? Just to be able to translate the words. I could even send it back to you and you could post it if you wanted 🙂
I can only imagine how hard it is to fine and that’s such a great idea but unfortunately I don’t have an editable version of the file. Good luck with the new calling…they’re so lucky to have you!
Thank you!
Than you fit this awesome resource! Using as a drop off for primary activity girls!
You’re so welcome! I hope they love it!
Thank you
You’re so welcome!
thanks
You bet!
The General Conference Activity Packet is just what our senior Primary needs! Thank you for creating it and making it available.
You’re so welcome!
Is this packet still available? It looks so cute but I don’t see a link to it. Thanks!
It is. Near the bottom of the page there’s a grey box to enter your email address and once you do you’ll be able to download it.
Such a great activity packet! Thanks for your hard work putting it together!
You’re so welcome!
Defintely be doing this!
Awesome! Let me know how your kids liked it.
Thanks for sharing this. I have created quite a few packets in my time, including one for this upcoming Conference… but like you said, it’s more geared toward my older daughters and not necessarily my younger sons. 😂 I just downloaded your packet for my four year old little guy to enjoy. I especially like the simplified BINGO page. He’ll appreciate that. 😉
You bet! I hope he enjoys it!
I am so excited for this packet, thank you!
Thank you! We can’t wait for this! 🙂
Im so excited to try this activity packet with my 6 year old.
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know how they like!
How soon will the packet be sent to my email? Thanks
You should receive it within 5 minutes. If you don’t see the email in your inbox, be sure to check your junk folder.
Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!
I am so excited to use it for this conference with my son 🙂
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you liked it!
I am already in love with this packet! It seems so simple for the younger kids, but still enticing for somewhat older kids! I teach CTR 6, lead 7&8 year old Activity Days, and have 7&9 year old boys and I’ve printed these out for all of them!!! Thank you!!
You’re welcome, I’m so glad you liked them! I hope they’ll help make Conference for enjoyable for everyone!
This packet looks amazing, but for some reason it is not showing up in my inbox. I am hoping to use this with my family and our primary. Can you please send it to me? Thank you so much for all of your hard work and creativity! It blesses so many lives!
I just sent it to you! Hope you love it!!!!
Hi,
I love your GC packet for younger kids and wondering if I can download it. I tried entering my e-mail and have checked my SPAM folder, but can’t find it anywhere.
Thanks so much for sharing!
I love this idea and love the designs you’ve created. I’d like to share them with my primary. Could I possibly get the original artwork design file to update the prophet?
Hi Marta –
We JUST updated the packet to include President Nelson! 🙂 Let me know if you need anything else!
xoxo,
Stephanie
Thank you so much my kiddos are so excited to use this cute packet!
I love these kits for the Primary kids. Our Primary President did such a neat idea on our ward’s kits this year. She personalized them with each child’s name and included their part for the Sacrament meeting presentation in the booklet as well as a invitation for them to color and give out to friends and relatives to come and to our ward that week! What a great way to help them be missionaries and to practice for their parts! Just thought I would share.
I absolutely LOVE that idea! Thanks so much for sharing Helen!
Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with the rest of us. My kids will love this–so inspired, simple and perfect. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for sharing this with our family!!
Thank you for your sharing your creativity and craftiness with us! This is very generous of yoU!
You’re very welcome Sheryl, thanks for stopping by! 🙂
This is one of the BEST packets I’ve seen for younger kids. So many of these packets are DISTRACTING from conference. This is great because it encourages them to pay attention and actually learn something! Thank you!!
Thanks Connie! I appreciate the compliment! 🙂
Thank you for this amazing idea. I am going to pitch it to my group for kids’ day!
Thanks Dineo!
OH Noo I just find your blog, this is wonderful! thank you so much for share! greetings from Playa del Carmen, Mexico!
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.
Thanks for doing all the hard work and put this together. Even my two year old will be able to do some of it.
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!!!
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! 🙂
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! 🙂
Thanks for the printable but I notice when I print it is not clear. You may have to update the new prophet. Could you make it in Black and White so it will show up better?
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
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 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!
muito legal!
I love it! I'm mentioning and linking to this page on my blog tomorrow! =)

Thank you so much!
Thanks! I used your packets and the kids are off enjoying them! 🙂
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
Very cute Steph. I added your conference packet link to my post and it will publish in about an hour. So fun!!!

Thank you so much!

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!
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!

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!

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…
Wish I didn't have to pay for a subscription to that site in order to download or print because it looks really cool.
This is so awesome, thank you!!!
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!
That was a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
XOXO
Jen
dude…i'm using this tomorrow. today was ugly…maybe this will help.
What a GREAT idea!! Thanks for linking up Stephanie!!
Have a GREAT Easter weekend!
Thanks! I am going to share your packet along with the other two on my blog. (savvymomsaves.blogspot.com)

Is it seriously time for that already? I could have sworn last year's just ended. XD
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!
This is perfect for my little ones!!! Thank you so much!!!
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!
I love those sheets!! I just have to wait until my kids are old enough… 🙂
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!!
This is very cute and I might have to do something similar for our Easter services this weekend… thanks for the great idea!
