Stealing more ideas... getting ready for conference!

So March approaches, so does General Conference...and Easter!  Wow!  Time is flying.  I have been blog stalking again and came across two very cute conference ideas.  The ironic thing is that I am plan to teach Latter-Day Prophets in May as part of our program line up. I was so excited to find these cute actions to it.  Thanks Camille!  You are the best!  I think I will just put all the picutures of the the prophets on the chalk board with their names at the bottom and do that until we can take away all the pictures and know it from memory. 
Also, I found the cutest version of the THE BOOKS OF MORMON that list all the 12 apostles...I just taught this song to the kiddos and they love it and so I know they will pick this up easily with different names in it.  It is super cute!
ACTIONS TO LATTER-DAY PROPHETS
Joseph Smith - #1 with right hand
Brigham Young - #2 with right hand
John Taylor - #3 with right hand
Wilford Woodruff - sign language "w" right hand then left hand for each work
Lorenzo Snow - hands showing snow coming down
Joseph F. Smith - pointing to temple on head (to "remember the F")
Heber J. Grant - pretend to hit a baseball (he was determined to play baseball and through hard work he made the team)
George Albert Smith - pretend to shake a lot of hands (he made a promise "not to be an enemy to any living soul)
David O. McKay - use both hands to make "O" when saying O.
Joseph Fielding Smith - blow a kiss after you say his name (he loved children)
Harold B. Lee - pretend to play the piano (he loved playing the piano and was good
Spencer W. Kimball - milk a cow (worked hard on a farm)
Ezra Taft Benson - make the scout sign (he loved scouts and was a great scout leader)
Howard W. Hunter - draw a big pretend heart with your hands (he was sweet and wanted everyone to treat each other better)
Gordon B. Hinckley - arms out for an airplane (he flew all over the world to meet with members and build temples)
Thomas s. Monson - have your hand up and out like holding a tray being a server (he is always talking about service)

I think it would be super fun to talk a little about the latter-day prophets.  There are websites out there with interesting facts about the prophets...like what they were best known for.  Like President Kimball famous quote: lengthen your stride and do it now.  That President Hinckley made the cane very fashionable...ect.  I think we will sing all the songs about prophets that day.

We Thank Thee O God for A Prophet
Praise To The Man
Follow The Prophet
Latter-Day Prophets
The Apostle Songs
Nephi's Courage
