General Conference Preparation

We teach the Sacrament Meeting program songs most of the year.  Do we ever review the songs from previous years?

Help the children prepare for General Conference by singing and/or reviewing songs that relate to Conference.

• Use a chart from the building library or one of you own of the current Church Presidency and the Twelve Apostles.  
• A chart of the Latter-Day Prophets
• Pictures of all the prophets in the song, Follow the Prophet 
• Picture of the Book of Mormon

Explain to the children that we have prophets ever since the Earth was organized. Show a few pictures from Follow the Prophet, p. 110.  Can they guess the song? Sing it. 

Ask the children if they can name 10 (or any number) prophets from the Book of Mormon. Sing Book of Mormon Stories, p.118.

When the church was restored, a prophet was once again called to lead Christ's people.  Who was that man?  (Joseph Smith)  How many prophets have we had since? (Help the children count them using the pictures.)  Sing Latter-Day Prophets, p. 134

You may choose to sing the songs twice - the first time will be a review.

If time permits, the following songs will help the children prepare for General Conference:

Keep the Commandments  p. 146

Seek the Lord Early  p. 108

Stand for the Right  p. 159
