COME FOLLOW ME: WEEKLY TEACHING IDEAS & RESOURCES |Preparing for GENERAL CONFERENCE

Hey guys! I am SO EXCITED about this activity. The idea for this activity literally came days ago! So I apologize that I am just getting it posted now. Essentially, you will print the paper chain template, cut it out, and either glue to staple the ends together. For the next seven days as a family, you will complete one of the chain’s activities each day. Activities range from podcasts to videos, to songs, to articles. Each activity I’ve highlighted is age-appropriate and focused on preparing for General Conference, with an added emphasis on Joseph Smith and the Restoration of the Gospel.

I’ve prepared two versions for you. One paper chain is geared with activities and videos meant for Toddlers and  Younger Children. This means the videos will be shorter, songs will be engaging, and stories will be illustrated. The second version is meant to be completed as a family with older children, Young Men or Young Women. You can expect full conference talks, awesome videos, songs, and an episode from one of my FAVORITE podcasts of all time.

The best part about this download is that it is editable, which means if you would like to add your own QR code, link, or text it is completely customizable to your needs!

The second best part is QR CODES. These are a HIT in the classroom. Do not let these scare you, especially if you have an iPhone or an iPad. Using a QR code is as simple as opening the camera app on your apple device, placing the QR code in view, and Voilà, the link to the activity will automatically appear at the top of the screen. Simply click on the link and you are on your way!

If you don’t have an Apple device, all you need to do is download a free QR code scanner. If you’re still nervous I’ve included the links in the download with a shortened URL as well so you have another option to access the activities.

I would recommend starting with Day 1 and working to Day 7. I tried to place the activities in a somewhat methodical order that build upon each other. Let me know if you have any questions!

***I’ve included my FAVORITE resources for studying the Restoration of the Gospel as an individual. Make sure to check those out as well.

Individual Study Recommendations

Preparing for General Conference with a Focus on the Restoration

Now, I didn’t make you a paper countdown chain… But if you’re feeling really left out, remember the file above is editable so you can make a countdown chain for your own individual study if needed! I did, however, gather some of my favorite resources for studying the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of these, especially the podcasts, fell into my lap like manna at a time when I was praying to have my testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith bolstered. They are beautiful and thoughtful, and I hope you make time to listen to every single one.
