There are many ways to listen to General Conference. The old fashion way is to tune into a local radio station and receive the words of the prophet over the air waves. Your next option is to view the broadcast on your TV. There are many local TV stations that will host the Conference. The third way is to watch or listen to Conference over the internet. There are many ways to get there. Just follow one of the links below.

The fourth way to view General Conference is to pack your bags, load all of the kids into the car, and travel down to Salt Lake City Utah and see if there is room for you to attend the conference in person. We took the 4rd option earlier this year. It was awesome! Below is a short video of our visit in April of last year.

Every year it is a struggle to keep the kids interested in the talks that are given during General Conference. Now that some of our kids are a little bit older, it isn’t so much a challenge of giving them something to do while listening. However, it is always nice to give the younger kids something to work on while we are watching. Every year, I watch for the “Conference Worksheets” that are put out by “The Friend“.

The little notebook that they put together give our Primary age kids a chance to do some coloring, matching, searching, and writing. All of the subjects, pages, and pictures are related to general conference and encourage them to listen and complete more pages. I know that they don’t listen to everything, but it keeps them engaged in the information being taught by the leaders of the Mormon Church.

Ok, so the worksheet I linked to above wasn’t very fun.  This is actually the one I was thinking of  “General Conference Primary Activity Packet”.  It is really Great for kids.  I hope you use it because they will be listening and staying busy all at the same time.
