Last week in Primary, the boys got "Conference Bingo" to play while they watched General Conference this past weekend. We let them use their jelly beans from their easter baskets to mark their spots. Each time they heard certain things like the word "Prophet", "Jesus Christ", "Family" or several others, they put a jelly bean down. They didn't do so hot at first, but after a while (once they realized they actually had to listen to put a jelly bean down) they were really doing great! In fact, before conference was over, Brayden had eaten so many jelly beans he asked if he could stop playing because his tummy was starting to feel sick. Silly kids...
This was a great idea! I don't think my boys have ever listened so intently to conference before. We will be making this a new tradition for conference to help keep the kids attention during the sessions.
Thanks Sister Lea for the game! :)

This really makes me smile. I am so glad you will be starting a new tradition!
That was the only thing that kept my kids (bay and Logan) quiet. It was such a good thing! I printed mine off line.
Bingo is always a great way to get them to watch just a little anyway. Glad to see that you guys had a great Easter too and that you were brave enough to let your kids color eggs!!
We did the same thing. I was amazed at how much attention they really did pay to Conference. Britton even had a quiz his primary teacher gave him and he did pretty well on it. Definitely a new tradition for us also.
