In the Book of Mormon you can read the story about King Benjamin. He was a very righteous man who spent time working for his people. He gathered his people to counsel them, but there were so many people that they had to build a tower so that his voice could be carried far...The people were so happy to hear his words that they pitched tents and stayed for more counsel in the morning. This was the first General Conference. After talking about King Benjamin during FHE, we decided to build our own special tent to sit in during General Conference. It was a lot of fun and a very successful first hour! The Primary Presidency handed out a Conference packet with fun things to do to stay busy. I am not sure how much the kids picked up, but it was a positive experience that I hope they will remember. 
One of the activities was to color the tie of the speaker and their hair. Now, a lot of these men were bald or to use the term that Garrett and Wyatt coined, "half-bald." So, that was the game to see who was bald, 'half-bald', or who had hair! Silly boys!
