LDS General Conference is coming up! Here are two free, printable activities you can do with your kids using photos of the general authorities as children. As you know, I love making coloring pages of our family and ancestors from photos, so I thought this would be a fun way to do the same for a conference activity to help my kids learn that the apostles were kids once, too.
Have you read Kid Presidents? I would love to see a “Kid Prophets” or similar book with stories of the prophets and apostles as children. (Maybe one already exists.) Children can relate with adults like their parents, grandparents, and even general authorities when they learn that these adults were kids once upon a time – kids who played, made mistakes, had friends, and so on.
Coloring Book

In this coloring book, you’ll find a page for each of the members of the first presidency and quorum of the twelve. There’s a photo to color of them when they are an adult and when they were a child.
Matching Game
I also made a matching game. Print on cardstock and cut out the cards. To play, match the adult photo to the child photo. There is a difficult version and an easy version – the easy version has names on the cards to help.
