Here are some ideas to help keep the messages of conference in the minds of your family over the next six months until the next conference!
Conference Reports
After conference, to keep the messages of conference relevant to your family, try assigning a family member to give a short report on a general conference talk each week. Older kids can read the transcript of the speeches online (available about a week after conference). Younger children can use resources from the Friend (available about one month after conference). If you speak another language, try listening to conference in your second language!
Apostle Presentation for FHE
Kids will have fun learning about the life of their favorite apostle. See our Apostle Presentation page for links and info to help kids create their own FHE presentation. Learn about Elder Neil L. Andersen, our newest apostle with this free packet for kids (and parents!). We also have a learning page about apostles in general.
Apostle Fact Card Game
Learn about the First Presidency and the Twelve Apostles with this fun game. Print out our Apostle fact cards. Cut them out and give each family member a few. Take turns reading the clues to the family and try to guess which Apostle it describes. It's lots of fun, and you'll learn all about our Church leaders!
Free Copy Work
Reinforce the messages of the Apostles and Prophet with our copy work taken from the messages of April 2009 General Conference. (October 2009 copy work to be added soon!)
Latter-day Prophets Workbook
Be sure to check out our Discover the Latter-day Prophets workbook. Help your kids develop a love and respect the prophets in our day as they read stories of their faithful childhoods and lives. Take a sneak peek - you can download a packet on the childhood and life of President Thomas S. Monson now.
Free BYU Online Course
For high school students and mom and dad, I recommend the FREE online BYU course "Following the Prophets," which will give you a doctrinal overview of the role of a prophet and the importance of following his words.
Keep kids busy (and listening) to General Conference:
Conference Video
These two short videos are a great thing to watch during Family Home Evening. They reviews the messages from the April 2009 conference.
The Apostle Song
Download our FREE video learning sheet to go along with the "Apostle Song" video. For more videos, periodically check out our NEW video page.
