Crayola Conference
Probably nothing lulls more Mormons kids into nasty daydreams than having to sit through General Conference and its hours of interminable, insomnia-curing talks.
In hopes of keeping those idle hands and minds busy this weekend, Crawler is passing along an "General Conference Activity Pack"* that will occupy bored-out-of-their-minds kids of all ages.
I particularly recommend the "Conference Talk Bingo" game (Page 10), in which kids use M&Ms to cover topic boxes, including "Holy Ghost," "resurrection," "atonement," and "tithing" when a speaker mentions it. Five in a row wins. Note to Mom: To keep dad's attention from drifting, put some real money on it!
A more creative activity, "Color the Speaker's Necktie," (Page 3) alas, probably won't take much time, considering the drabness of LDS leaders' haberdashery. I suggest you can make it more intriguing by challenging the kids to color the tie with a motif that expresses each general authorities' personality, genealogy or mood. And stay inside the lines!
Finally, to polish up the old eye-hand coordination, put your crayon to "Follow the Way Through the Maze to our Living Prophet" (Page 6).
*This activity pack is real, BTW, not a product of the Trib's tasteless graphics department.

When I was about 7, my mom kept feeding me handfuls of candy cinnamon hearts to keep me quiet during general conference at the old tabernacle. I got really sick and threw up in the car on the way home. I don't remember having to sit through conference anymore after that! And to this day I can't eat those damn candies.
