Adapting
Conference Talks
into Family Home Evenings
for young children
by Pam Workman / ga04102007
In the closing session of the spring 2007 general conference, President
Hinckley said, "We hope that you will use the May edition of the Church
magazines as a text for your family home evenings, to review that which has
been spoken in this conference." For additional help in following this
counsel

Take a look at the
Friend magazines issued before and after conference. They
will have some ideas there.
Also, look for interesting stories and analogies in the talks. Stories about
other children/families, the pickle analogy, etc. Tell it to him in your own
words. Try to include and object lesson.
Look at what topics were spoken on, and then look in the
Nursery manual for that topic. Show a picture of that General
Authority and say "Elder _______ talked to us
about _________ at conference," and then go into the lesson ideas from the
nursery manual.
Find a song on the topic in the
Children's song book. Or sing songs about the prophets from the
song book.
See which scripture stories were mentioned, and use
GAK pictures and re-enacting the scripture stories, or use action
figures, flannel board figures, puppets, or stuffed animals to retell the story.
