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.

The Twelve Apostles and the First Presidency

Shortly after last General Conference we discovered this little treasure on the internet through the wonders of mass emailing.


A few weeks ago we were watching it again and I wondered, have they made a new one yet? Of course, I knew they didn't know who the new apostle will be - but just maybe . . .


We are looking forward to seeing the new video when it comes out after conference and the chance to get to know another new apostle.

Speaking of apostles this week we will be learning about the apostles to prepare ourselves better for General Conference. Here are some of the resources we will be using:
