General Conference Reminder

To help our girls prepare for General Conference & help those who would like to use it as one of their 10 hour projects, I usually print off a General Conference packet from Sugar Doodle or purchase some from The Red Headed Hostess. 

One of the girls said "I just hope I remember when Conference is!"  So to help them remember, I created this little 4x6 reminder. 


I laminated it & put a magnet on the back so it could be hung on the fridge.  I have one in my house, but i put it in a frame.  You can use a dry erase marker on either the laminate or the glass of the frame to mark down days to conference.



General Conference Prep Game



I was not incharge of this activity, so I will explain it the best I can.  Our Laurel & Mia Maid presidents put this activity on.  And it was AWESOME!!!  The girls all had a blast & we all learned something.

There were 4 activities to prepare us for Conference this weekend.

We were put into groups of 2.

Activity 1:  Bowling.
She had 6 bottles of sprite set up.  We had to bowl with our non-dominant hand with a basket ball.  It was a lot harder than it sounds.
Each partnership chose 1 person to bowl.  Then on the 2nd round, the other person bowled.  We were able to get through 4 rounds total.
She had questions on cards.  So after you bowled you chose a category.  (General Authorites, which had pictures & you had to say who the person was.  Topics that could be discussed.  I don't remember what the other 2 categories were).  
If you got the question right, you got 100 points for each bottle knocked down.  If you didn't knock any over you got 50 if you got the quesiton right.

Activity 2:  Ball throw.
We were in a narrow hallway.  They had 7 boxes of various sizes set up.  A sock rolled into a ball.  You threw the ball into the box with the point numbers on the front.  She just continued going through the quesitons she had left over from the previous activity.

Activity 3:  Name the General Authority.
This was different & fun.  She had purchased the little mini pie shells (very small ones).  In the bottom she put 1-12 small pieces of candy in them (pez or small chocolate balls).  Then covered them with whipped cream.  
The object was to use only your mouth & get all of the candy out of the pie... count how many pieces of candy were in your pie.  Then you had to guess which GA corresponded with that number.  Example, if you only had 1 candy... that represented Pres Monsons seat.

Activity 4:  scripture chase.
We didn't get to do this activity because of time.  But basically she set up scripture chase based on past & possible future topics heard at conference.

GREAT activity!

General Conference Reminder Idea

I got the idea from HERE.

I wasn't able to use her label because I couldn't find GRAPE fanta & it wouldn't fit on my sticker paper I wanted to use.  So using her idea I recreated the lable to fit my sticker paper & in orange to match the ORANGE fanta soda.
