Activities, Games and Ideas For General Conference With Kids – The Ultimate Guide

Get comfortable because this is the most extensive list of resources and ideas for conference activities for kids out there. (A lot of these can be used for family home evenings as well.)

I’ve pinned as much of this stuff as possible on my General Conference Pinterest board.

Please email me at livecrafteat at gmail dot com or leave a comment for anything that I’ve missed and I’ll add it to the list. I’ll be updating this every 6 months to keep it as current and robust as possible.

I love General Conference. Each year I really do look forward to the first weekend of April and October respectively to hear the leaders of the LDS church speak. I also love kids. But in all honesty sometimes the combination of these two things makes both miserable. How to entertain kids for 8 hours (not counting 2 hours while my husband is at the Priesthood session) during general conference is no small order. And I only have 2! For some it’s double or triple the work.  With this in mind I wanted to create the ultimate resource list of General Conference activities for kids.

I’ve split it into six sections:

• Resources: These are the best online resource sites for conference activities out there. These include posts similar to this one as well as sites dedicated only to entertaining kids during Conference.
• Games/Activity Ideas: A list of game and activity ideas for children including links to pictures and tutorials.
• Booklets and Packets: Browse through this list of the General Conference activity packets and booklets found across the internet.
• Baskets and Kits: Browse through this list of the General Conference baskets and kits.
• General Conference Notebooks
• General Conference  Pinterest Boards

Best Resources – In No Particular Order

Official Resource from the LDS Church

This is the Church’s official resource. It includes on and offline matching games, coloring templates, and even a conference bingo game (“Conference Squares”) for kids to mark off as they hear speakers mention certain Gospel topics or people. In addition to this, I would highly recommend the Church’s article on Preparing Our Children for General Conference – there are some good ideas and thoughts written there.

This is About.com’s section of General Conference children’s activities. They actually have a LONG LIST of printables and activities for the kids to play during General Conference. These games include bingo, flash cards, word searches and much more.
