So this conference weekend went really well with the kids. We still had loud noises, and crying babies and the occasional brother sister banter, but we can honestly say we all got something from each speaker. My sister in law did this idea last session so I thought I would try it out. On the wall are pictures and commonly used topics that people talk about. Alyssa helped me color them and we put them in a page protector. Then I printed out the apostles pictures and laminated them and made cards for each of them. So when they heard that apostle talk they put it on the topic picture they thought it was. I also made "ears" for the other speakers (ears for listen or what we heard them say) so we got to see what everyone talked about. It was great to see the kids picking out words and phrases from the talks and it made Brad and I pay attention a lot better too. I have all the stuff to make this activity on word doc. if anyone is interested for next session or if just want to make apostle cards with their info on the back. I can email it to you. We all can't wait for October! Thanks Aunt Liz and Aunt Julie for the fun activity pages.
