This weekend, our Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, will be joining together in a General Conference. It’s a weekend of relaxation and inspiration! I am looking forward to a bit of family fun along with a little rejuvenation for my soul. BUT… it doesn’t always work that way for a busy toddler.
Conference snuck up on me this year, but I have been busting my brain to come up with some last-minute projects to keep my son and nephews occupied. Little Man is very visual and loves pictures, so I wanted him to become familiar with the pictures of the leaders of our Church.
If you procrastinated like me and are just now thinking of ideas to keep your kiddos occupied, I’ve got ya covered! I am also sharing some downloads! Here are 4 ways to keep tots occupied during General Conference:
1. General Conference Bingo First of all, I created these General Conference Bingo boards. Basically, when the speaker delivers his talk, you can mark that person on your board! It only takes 3 in a row to win Bingo in this game, and President Monson is in the center of each board. I am sure we’ll use M&M’s or some kind of tasty treat to mark our boards.
You can download your own set of 8 General Conference Bingo boards here. Each board is different. Just download, print, mount on some fun scrapbook paper or cardstock, and laminate for durability.
You can download your set of General Conference faces here. I used the same photos for the next couple of projects, but I printed them on regular paper instead of sticker paper! So if you’re interested in the next couple projects, you can use the same download.
This will be a great way to learn those new faces! I am so excited for General Conference now… bring on a weekend in jammies!! I hope you can find some kind of activity or tweak one to fit your family! Be sure to let me know if you use one… I’d love to hear about it!
Thanks for posting this. I am just realizing that I need something like this too.
I love love this! I wish I had more time before tomorrow to do it. THank you so much!
Ooh, thanks for sharing! I think I'll use the faces for a year-round matching game. Perfect for sacrament meeting. Thanks!
Looks like you have some fun things planned! We always try to do some fun things also for this weekend. Yummy snack foods and I am prepping with my activities also.
Love your ideas. Thanks for sharing your downloads. I have put this off this year too! Hopefully I can get something done in time!
Thanks… Love your blog…

Ah heck. I went for it and printed it up…I only had to go to the mall to refill my ink cartridges but I did it. I am so excited for my kids to use them tomorrow and Sunday. I didn't however have time to laminate them but put them in plastic binder sleeves.
THank you so much for the printable!
Just found your blog and added you to my google reader! I cannot wait to read more, it sounds like you have some awesome ideas!!
Great ideas! My little on is almost two and loves matching games. Now if I can just wave a magic wand to get it ready in time that would be great! ?
Oh I love it! I need to get a regular printer now to print all of your awesome downloads…
I love it! I stumbled upon your post after I tried my best to do something similar on my own. Thanks for all the great ideas! I'll definitely be coming back here instead of trying to reinvent the wheel!

Thank you for this! We used to play Apostle Bingo as kids and I loved it!!! I am actually working on making my own bingo boards and it isn’t working that well so I found this just in time-thanks to Pinterest! I just clicked on the link and the boards won’t load for me (I don’t have permission?) but I will try to figure it out.
I got it to print. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I will be back during nap time to print this ? I linked back to you for my Friday 5, have a great weekend!

Hi,
The ideas look great, but I can’t find a way to download them. Help?
Hi Jacque. The first link was working fine, but I just updated the other link also. Just click where it says “download here” and you will be taken to the Scribd download service. Hit the orange “download or print” button. I hope that helps!
