It's General Conference weekend! That means we get to spend a whole weekend listening to inspiring messages from a modern prophet, apostles, and other Church leaders. It also means that I stock up on little snacks and prizes the kids can earn by listening carefully to the talks.
We used some dry kidney beans for markers on their Conference Square sheets this weekend. I think we'll go back to using pennies next time, because Joy kept peeling the beans and leaving bits of them all over the couch.
After each session, we brought out prizes and let the kids pick one prize for every six topics (Jesus, family, faith, etc.) they heard and marked during the session.
I tried to include a few healthyish options and toys, but somehow Daniel still ended up with two Hostess cupcakes and some Fruit Loops after one session.
Anna's Conference Weekend stash included a Luna granola bar, a glow stick, and some sidewalk chalk.
She and Joy used the chalk to write friendly messages on our neighbors' driveways. It was a very literal way to apply several Conference messages about loving our neighbors. :)
