I am too, and I have a Mac as well. I don't run windows, and opening this on my computer, is all messed up. I'm going to have to recreate it using what's there, and fixing it up. If I'm able to, I'll let you know. I'll probably leave some pages out, to fit our budget. Our Primary is huge...

thanks so much for this packet
but I still seem to have formatting issues with the doc
anyone else having this problem?
if it matters, I'm on a mac

These packets are excellent! Thank you for sharing your talents.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Simply amazing!

Wow these are GREAT!! I love all the great ideas you have to keep the attention of the kids!! Thank you for your time and hard work!

What a wonderful service you're providing! I'm sure this will get my six-year-old to sit through at least one session

Sugardoodle is amazing! I have found so much help and inspiration here. I tell people about this site whenever I get the chance. Thank you for sharing your talents!

I love that there are two different versions for the younger and older kids! We did your packet last conference, and our children listened so much better. Thank you so much for all your work!

AMAZING!! love these packets!!!

This is amaaaaaazing! Thank you so much!

Incredible. This is so wonderful. You have no idea how much I appreciate that! A lot of work went in to that. I appreciate your talent and sharing so much.

Truely amazing and such a gift. Thank you so much.

What an awesome packet Melanie! I use these for our Activity Day Girls every conference. They love them. Often families here will attend one or two sessions, when our girls have these packets they are so excited to go to all four sessions and then share what they learn in our General Conference Quiz & Sharing activity. Just wanted to know you're touching lives "down under" as well. Love your work.

This is a wonderful idea. Thank you very much! I would be lost without Sugardoodle. Love the site. Thanks

I was so excited to see this packet. However, when I try to open it in Word it cannot find the graphics. I generally have to have pdf. Any suggestions?
Thank you for all your great ideas!

These are great. I am definitely going to hand these out.

I love your packet for General Conference! Thank you! Our children and the primary children will love this!

I have three kids ages 2,3 and 6. They still aren't into doing these pages at Conference time. So I admit I actually print these up for myself to use. :-* I think I actually pay better attention when I have to write things down and sometimes it can help my kids when explain things to them in my words. Whichever way you use these things, they are fabulous and I have to say THANKS!!!

Thank you for all the work that goes into preparing this site. I love it and I am sure there are a ton of me's out there!

That's excellent, I need senior primary in spanish too.
Thank for a great ideas every time.

Excelente!!! Me encantan sus ideas y sugerencias y las pongo a funcionar, gracias por su ayuda!!!

I love it! I am grateful to have fun ways to get my kids involved with conference. Thank you for sharing your ideas and hard work.

thank you!! these are great packets!!

These are truly amazing. I cannot imagine the time it took to put them together! Actually, considering that I tinker around with computer projects such as this a lot, I CAN imagine the time it took, and I'm that much more grateful. I like the older Primary packet so much, I think I just might fill it out myself!

Melanie, you do such a great job! Thanks for sharing with all of us.

GREAT! I love to give the gals I visit and teach conf. packets so this will be the one I use! Thanks for doing a younger and older kid version!

I agree with Aurelia - comment #19 - having some problems with formatting and fitting to the page. Also on an iMac. Should this be a problem?

Excelente, trabajo querida, los niños podrán estar atentos y aprender mucho con estas ideas. Gracias!

I am so excited to give this to my class! I think I just might do one myself! This is amazing!

These are fantastic!! Your hard work and effort is much appreciated! You are truly a talented and blessed lady.

Thank you for all the help in keeping youngsters interested in General Conference. I wish I had this when my kids were younger. I get this my my active member grandkids.

Thank you so much!! I just want you to know how much this is appreciated! The kids in our primary will absolutely love this!! I love the cartoon pictures also, very cute!!

I keep getting a message that the files can't be found... am i doing something wrong??

Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us. I am so excited to give these conference packets to our kids (7,9,15,17)-anxiously awaiting the YM, YW versions. Sugardoodle is such a great help for me, I don't prepare a lesson for our Young Women without checking out Sugardoodle for help. My husband has been called to teach primary and now he is "hooked" also. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR IDEAS.

THANK YOU!!! My kids look forward to these every 6 months! They *love* general conference because the packets really get them involved in listening.... I love the packets because *I* get to listen to conference, and love seeing my kids listen as well. BRAVO as usual!

Wow! I enjoyed these and can't wait for the YM/YW packet, as I've just been made a YW Counselor. Thanks for all your hard work.

The General Conference Packets are the bomb! They're so fun that I think I'm going to make a copy for me too. Adults need to pay attention too. lol. Mahalo nui loa!

Melanie,
You have definitely outdone yourself! These packets are great. Can't wait to use them with my family and in primary. Thanks for sharing your time and talents.

You're my hero! I have four children and have been looking for a 2010 April conference packet - these links are all so perfect. Thank You!!! (I usually spend hours making one on my own...this will save me tons of time) THANKS once again!

FYI Another General Conference activity?
I have made Conference Bingo for YEARS!!
For younger children, I find pictures of words that may be said during conference and for older children, I use words. Make the usual bingo board of five squares across and down. Make the middle square free, then fill in the other squares with one word for longer games or two words for shorter games depending on the attention span of the child. THe child and adult has to pay attention to be able to keep track of which squares are able to be filled in. You would be suprised how well this can work! My ADHD son loved playing the game until he was a teenager because it made Conference interesting to him and we would talk about various talks that he had questions about later.
Hope this idea helps soneone!
Edwina

THANK YOU for your talent and for sharing. Also, Thank you for putting it in PDF so I could print it! We will have so much fun with this file! It's AWESOME!

This is such a wonderful idea! My kids look forward to this EVERY year. These packets are inspired! Thanks you for the trouble you go to for making these packets.

Hi Melanie. Thanks for letting me help with the translation. I've added a link to your packet in my blog.

Your packet is amazing!! Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm also excited for the YW/YM packet!

Dear Melanie,
Thank you so very much.
I'm a Mom of 4 and have been a Primary President for 2 years now. Your site was recommended to me early in my Primary days and I absolutely love it! There have been countless times I've turned to you for help. I cannot say thank you enough. All that you do is truly appreciated,
Sincerely, Katie

Melanie! That´s just amazing! And Dani (Souza) thank you for translating everything for us! Our stake is so excited to see the packet. Thank you!

Im not ashamed to say that the youth booklet is a great tool for adults too... we are going to do this for our family home evening and all use them to some degree! Thank you for sharing these with our family!

Thank you so much Melanie! I have hoped to see a packet for the youth for some time. I am a Young Women's leader and I am grateful to be able to share this with them for their benefit. Thank you again for so willingly sharing your time and talents.

Thank you for being so willing to share your talents with all! These conference activity books are great. You are all so creative. THX Again, Beth

Thank you so very much for all of your hard work to create these packets. I am excited to give these to my primary children. I will be printing enough for my nieces and nephews too. What an amazing gift you have. You have been bookmarked in my favorites!!

THANK YOU! We had our YW Board Meeting and plan to talk to the girls about the importance of listening and learning from conference the week before, and give each girl a copy of your packet. We will follow up the next Sunday and ask them to bring their completed packets for a treat, and discuss what we all learned.
I will be using it for my YM-aged boys at home,my college-aged kids,and for husband and I as well! =) I will use both the Jr. and Sr. versions for my Primary children as well. You truly do an amazing job. You are great at making it fun and meaningful. I can't thank you enough!

Love the packets! Thank you for sharing your hard work with us!

Melanie, great work! Love it.

THANK YOU so much for all your efforts to help conference be successful in our homes and wards. I am excited to arrange my kids conference baskets/conference tent, again this year, combined with your wonderful packet. Thanks!!

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen! My YW are going to love this! You are amazing! thank you for all your hard work. May blessing rain upon you. :-)

You are amazing - thank you SO much for all the time and effort you spent on these packets! Our kids are going to love them!

WOW- This is amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work in putting this together. I know the girls in my ward will truly appreciate it. I love this as well and will be doing it myself. What a great way to stay focused and get the most out of conference! Thanks again!

These are AMAZING!! Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing. These really do help with our GC attention span and making it more fun and enjoyable. Our kids look forward to conference. So thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to make these packets. They are so fun, but at the same time allow children and adults to feel the true spirit of Conference.

I was linked to your site and I can't tell you how wonderful this is. What a gift you are giving! Thank you. As a mother of 9 young children I really appreciate it.

HUGE help. HUGE. Thank you SO much

Wow - thank you so much for all of your hard work. I don't know how you do it all. But I want to tell how much it is appreciatd!

MARAVILHOSO!! AMEI!! MUITO OBRIGADA POR TRADUZIREM PARA O PORTUGUES!!

These packets are super! Just wanted to say thanks for your hard work!

Thank you so much for your hard work - this means so much to me to have this for my 5 kids . . . and my family can listen reverently - I wish I had this when I was little - THANKS!!

Thank you so much for putting so much hard work into this! I can't wait to print it off and use it with my own children! Thank you!

:-) Is so nice, that this year you have one for the youth too.. I will always print the other one's for my primary kids, and for my family, including myself and my parents , so we could concentrate .. Now, mu husband is working with Young Men, and I think is nice, to give them something to help them to keep focused during conference. I'll be printing one of those for me too

Thanks, Melanie, for your hard work to put these booklets together. I love the Youth version. We are headed to Texas to spend conference weekend with my brother and his children. I'm excited to take booklets for each of the kids to use during conference. You are incredible! :-)

I hope that people tell you often how awesome all this is and thanks for making our jobs easier!

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much use a 27-year-old can get out of these :-) (Let alone a 3-year-old child).

Thank you for going through the work of doing this for every general conference. My 5 year old has been loving them for several years now and our 2 year old is just starting to get involved. These packets make conference easier for the kids to sit through (at least part of!) and get something out of it.

These are FANTASTIC! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for continuing to offer these wonderful packets! They certainly make our family enjoyment of General Conference so much easier!

I've been printing these out for a couple years now. My kids love them, thanks so much...

You've outdone yourself!! Thanks so much for always putting these together... it's become tradition for my family **HUGS**

The coloring book is fantastic--just what my 5 and 4 year old would do. Thank you for sharing all your hard work!

Thank you so much - this will really help my 15 year old son who has to give a Sacrament meeting talk next week about what he learns from conference. I was recommended this website by a friend and I will certainly be recommending it to others.

;-)

Thanks so much for the conference packets...my kids loved them!! I really am grateful for theses resources, I could never come up with this stuff on my own. Thanks again!!

These are amazing! Thanks for all your time and effort in helping the rest of us make conference enjoyable for our children. I hope to return the favor someday.

this was good :-) :-| :-* :sad: :o :-? :-x :eek: :zzz :sigh:

I love the General conference coloring book! So cute and the kids are going to love it!Thanks!

I enjoyed reading your blog. Keep it that way.

Thank you soooo much for this great packet! Especially to the irmas brasileiras that translated it in Portugues! You just saved me so much time. Obrigada!!

I am printing this off for my primary class of 12 seven year olds! Thank you so much for donating your time and talents to help children (and adults) listen and learn during conference!!!

Thank you! This is so fun! Thanks for taking time to put this together so we and our children can enjoy conference a little more!

The best conference packet I've seen yet. I'm so excited for my kids to use it. Excellent work!!!
