I love General Conference. It is a time to listen to our Prophet and other church leaders. It is a time to be fed spiritually and be taught how to be a better person. But it can also be frustrating when there are kids who don't want to listen while I do. This year I found an idea to get my kids more involved with watching and learning from Conference.
A few days before, I found a match game about the First Presidency and 12 Apostles. One card is a picture of the person and its match is a card with different facts about that person...here is a link to print that out.
When we found a match we would read about the person and decide on a treat that went with the Prophet/Apostle. Then during Conference, when that person speaks we eat the treat/snack while we listen.
Here is our list of facts and treats that go with it:
- President Monson - Loves to fish--Swedish Fish
- President Eyring - Last name is Eyring--Ring Pops
- President Uchtdorf - Is a pilot--small packaged airplane snacks (peanuts)
- Elder Packer - Makes bird carvings--Peeps
- Elder Perry - Knows how to milk a cow--Chocolate milk
- Elder Nelson - Likes to ski -- ice cream
- Elder Oaks - Last name is a tree--apples (since they grow on trees)
- Elder Ballard - Likes to fish--Fish Crackers
- Elder Scott - Was a nuclear engineer--Doughnut Holes (little bombs)
- Elder Hales - Loves baseball--Gum
- Elder Holland - Last name--Dutch chocolate
- Elder Bednar - Was President of Ricks College in Idaho--Potato chips
- Elder Cook - Last name--Cookies
- Elder Christofferson - He is happy--Snickers
- Elder Andersen - Speaks Spanish --Mexican treat
