General Conference Ready

The week before General Conference is a great time to prepare for ways to listen and get the most out of Conference.  Choose several songs you need to review for the Primary Sacrament Meeting Program or songs that the children love and know well.

• cut out several leave shapes from colored paper or use artificial leaves
• tape or glue the titles of the songs that you have chosen on the back of the leaves
• place the leaves in a bag or basket
• Ask a child to pick a leaf from the basket
• Sing the song
• Ask the children how the song will help us prepare and listen to Conference.  Here are a few examples.  Help the children see that songs can really help us learn the gospel as well as prepare us to listen to Conference.
• Last verse of Follow the Prophet - Our prophet will speak to us.  Write down one ore two things that Pres. Monson says that will help me in some way.
• I Am a Child of God - How can those that speak "lead me and guide me?"
• How will those that speak help me to follow Jesus?  (Come Follow Me)
