{Printable!} General Conference Notes Packets

Twice a year, our church has the opportunity to hear from our church leaders called General Conference.  Honestly, I LOVE and look forward to Conference weekends.  There is usually a lot of family and good food involved!

I was recently called to serve in our ward's Primary presidency (working with 130 children under age 12!), so my life has become a little even more chaotic! I created these General Conference Packets for each child in our Primary to help them get a little more out of Conference!  Let's be honest:  Sitting and listening for a couple hours just doesn't come naturally for kids!
  
They can color this picture of the Conference Center on the cover.

Each Apostle has their own page in the packet!  When that particular Apostle is speaking, the kids can focus on that page.
 For each apostle, there is...
* A profile picture.
*A picture of a tie that can be designed and colored according to what they are wearing.
*An interesting fact about their lives.
* Space to take notes or draw a picture about their talks.

 If you would like to use these in your own family, you can download your own set of General Conference notes here.

By the way... because my Little Man is not quite ready for taking notes yet, we will still be using some of the "General Conference for Tots" ideas that I shared last fall.
 
Happy Friday!!  Enjoy the weekend!  (I know I will!)

    Thank you Alison. I teach 6 (4 year old boys) CTR 5 class, and was just thinking about what to give them this week to prepare them for Conference. I think this will be perfect.

    Wow! You really do make my life soooo much easier! I'm so glad I found your blog! I'll be using the ideas for younger children for my kids (only maybe making the prophets on colored eggs instead of pumpkins) and I was looking for an idea to use for all 13 kids in my CTR 7 class! Thank you SO much!

    This is such a cute idea! Are you going to get them neck lanyards to hold their nametags?

    Thank you so much for sharing. My little man is only 2 months, but I have been really searching for a way to make conference fun for my son instead of a nap time. I want to start a routine now for conference so by the time he understands......we will have it down. Thanks again.

    As a recent convert (about 2 years ago) I am really loving all of the ideas we're finding on the internet to keep our three year old entertained and referent. Thank you!
