This BUNDLE is to give youth leaders many activities to teach the above theme for the bi-weekly lesson.

Look for these activity handouts to help you teach lesson concepts and give them TEACHING TOOLS to plan and develop lesson objectives. These lesson-match interactive activities will add to and enhance your lessons.

LESSON-MATCH ACTIVITIES IN THIS BUNDLE INCLUDES (detailed below):

- What strengthened our testimonies of living prophets? What did we feel prompted to do because of what we learned or felt?

- What do we need to do as a class or quorum to remember and act on the counsel we heard in the General Conference?

- What themes or messages stood out to us? What strengthened our faith in Jesus Christ?

DESCRIPTIONS:

(1) YOUTH GOAL ACTIVITY. PROPHET PONDER journal. Youth will be inspired to write the prophet’s message and to ponder and pray about his words with this page. They can first hear these messages in the April and October general conferences (reading a month later in the Church magazines). The prophet’s words are God’s words to us, a treasure to be treasured.

(2) YOUTH GAME ACTIVITY. Conference BINGO Super Listener’s Conference Fun. Using bean, corn, or coin markers, get ready to spot spontaneous conversations about the gospel with this General Conference topics BINGO game. Youth can later shout out things they have learned as the topics are called. Have prizes for winners. If watching the General Conference together with other youth or family, use the game board to mark your place when topics are talked about in the Conference.

POST-AND-PRESENT ACTIVITY. EARS TO HEAR THE PROPHET’S WORDS conference concentration game. Youth will really open their EARS to hear words from the latter-day prophets after matching up these half-head puzzle pieces. For example: “Missionary Work” first and second half pieces “If we do not understand and willingly teach others of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the Prophet Joseph Smith, who will?” Elder M. Russell Ballard, “Now Is the Time”

POST-AND-PRESENT. PROPHETS SPEAK – Conference Sweet Words Buzz Session. Youth can ponder and share messages from the Lord’s prophets and apostles. Find them in general conferences listening to talks and reading messages in the Church magazines.
