Conference Jeopardy

We have been trying to follow the counsel of the prophets and study the General Conference talks from the most recent conference in Family Home Evening. We have been taking turns giving reports on various conference talks, and this week we played round 1 of Conference Jeopardy to encourage everyone to spend some more time studying conference to be more prepared for Double Jeopordy. Conference Jeopardy is created every 6 months by Linda Harper and she does an amazing job of creating the questions and sharing them, usually within 24 hours.

I encouraged the kids to spend part of their "Scripture Reading Time" listening to, reading, or watching the general conference talks on LDS.org on in the Ensign, Friend or New Era. The New Era has a special online General Conference Section.

In the past we have also used Rochelle Keogh's Apostle Presentation to prepare for conference.

And of course, I can't forget our favorite way to remember the apostles, the Apostle Song Video by the Sons of Ammon.

We had a great family home evening lesson tonight planned by Isaac. He called it alphabet soup, we all took turns picking an alphabet letter (in order) and saying what we were thankful for, and then repeating what everyone else was thankful for. This was a lot of fun, and we thought of many things that we were thankful for that didn't make the final cut, but that did get said if we couldn't remember the "official version!"
