Conference Bingo

LDS General Conference is just around the corner. Two weeks away in fact! And I've been working hard on this one to get it done in time for you to use to help your kids pay attention and be entertained. When I was little my mom had Bingo cards she'd pull out for us every 6 months when conference came around. My siblings and I would lay out our cards and use beans to mark words that we heard the prophets say. Once we got Bingo and the Blackout, we'd get a prize - usually M&Ms or something. But the cool thing about it was that you had to actually hear it. No copying off your brother or sister's chart. ;) ...



So what I've done for you is create 6 different charts that you can download and print off. If you have more than 6 kids, I'm sorry (Not sorry you have that many kids but sorry I didn't create more for you). You can either print off duplicates or create another one using mine as a template in word. It's pretty easy to just move the pictures around. And this brings me to one hitch I had in the plan of making this happen. In order for it to look good, you have to download/open it in Microsoft word. If you use another program it will mess with the settings and each picture will have these ugly grey boxes around them. So I hope that works out ok for you guys!

Since Blogger doesn't have places to upload documents I created a website for you to find the Bingo cards on and download. It's here. Again, it doesn't look good unless you open it in Microsoft word. If you click "view" instead of "download" it won't look that great. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this! Pass it on to your friends who have kids too - spread the love! :) :)

  1. I don't have kids but I think this is a great idea that I'm half tempted to do it myself! Sometimes I have the hardest time paying attention to conference.
