General Conference Idea For Kids
Our family has been doing this fun General Conference Snack Shop for years and years! The kids LOVE it, and I love that it’s easy to put together. I also love that it helps them listen to General Conference a little better. Because rewarding good behavior is not beneath me… and neither are bribes. 😉
The concept is simple: Any time a word is said (whether in a talk, song, prayer, or announcement) each child grabs a treat or snack from the bowl by that word. Sometimes my kids choose to eat it right then, but sometimes they put it in their bags and save it for later.
How to Set Up a General Conference Snack Shop
YOU WILL NEED –
- 6 bowls
- 6 different snacks or candies
- General Conference Snack Shop Cards (download below)
- scissors
- sandwich bags or lunch sacks
- tape or stapler
DIRECTIONS –
- Download our free printables.
- Cut them out.
- Attach name plate printables to each bag with some tape or a stapler.
- Fill individual bowls with snacks/candies
- Place cards in front of bowls.

Tips –
- Especially if you have younger children, only put a small amount in the bowls at a time – you can always refill as you go. Soggy toddler fingers can be a total game changer, friends.
