For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

General Conference Jeopardy Oct 2012

General Conference was held this past weekend. It was a wonderful two days filled with admonitions to live as true disciples and followers of Christ. You can listen to all of the talks here. The transcripts will be available later this week.

General Conference Jeopardy



One of the ways we review General Conference is to play General Conference Jeopardy. I created the questions based on my notes and summaries of the talks found at Church News and Events. We are using this game in seminary tomorrow to review with the youth what we were taught by the Prophet, Apostles, and other church leaders. We also like to play this for Family Home Evening. It is surprising what even the younger ones remember!

The questions are set up for regular Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and a Final Question. Play with 2-4 teams depending on how many are participating. The answers are right after the questions in red. I usually set up a white board to look like a Jeopardy board with the categories at the top and points under the categories like so.


A team will choose a category and point value. I'll ask the corresponding question and wait for them to give the answer. If they get it wrong I let the other team try to answer. You can play real Jeopardy style and have those that know the answer "press the buzzer" by ringing a bell or slapping the desk. We erase the point values that have been answered and keep track of the score on another white board.

Have fun playing!

  11. Thank you!! I had started writing a few questions down and I see we have a lot that are the same! But you have quite a few more than I had.
    Have you ever used the Free Flash Jeopardy board that can be found online? I've thought about using it this Sunday, but didn't know how well it worked.
    Thank you again :)

  12. Thank you so much for sharing this!! I started writing my own Jeopardy game for mutual, and after the first 5 questions, decided to google it and see if someone had already made one. I found your game, and not only did we have the exact same first 5 questions, but the layout was exactly what I wanted! The way you worded each question, the way you taught the doctrine, and the simple questions asked are just perfect for our Beehives. You saved me a ton of time, and I can't thank you enough!!

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
