To Play
Turn all cards upside down and mix.
Lay the cards out in a grid fashion. If you are putting the squares on a board, you can label your grid to easily identify which squares to turn over.
Turn one square over at a time. If you get an action card, follow it. If you get a blank card, you are safe. If you get a fire, there is some sort of consequence.
Fire Consequences
You can make the fires good or bad depending on what your overall goal is. Here are a few ideas:
Answer an question based on your family night lesson.
You lose one life (Start the game with 3 lives).
You get a point.
Print your copy in black and white or color. I recommend either printing your cards on a durable paper like card stock or gluing them onto construction paper when you are done so you can't see through the paper and cheat. You will want to print several copies of the blank squares.
It's up to you how many cards you want to put out at a time. It's harder the fewer cards you use. You can also adjust the difficulty with the number of fires and action cards. I originally planned it for 6 fires and 6 action cards with 49 cards total.
This game would also be great to use in a Primary lesson. Before your class can turn over a square, have them answer a question. They get one point for every blank square they turn over and lose five points for every fire they find.

A Harvest of Revelation was created to help you prepare your heart, capture personal revelation as you listen, and return to the messages throughout the next six months.
This full-size General Conference notebook includes:
Thoughtful preparation pages to help you come to Conference with questions and an open heart
A different illustrated note page for every talk with plenty of room for impressions, quotes, connections, and invitations
Six guided ways to revisit each message
Faith-filled coloring pages for keeping your hands busy while your heart listens
Speaker-at-a-glance, session theme, and talk-tracking pages to help you see Conference as a whole
Meaningful review pages for recording answers received, what you learned about Jesus Christ, and questions that are still growing
The harvest-inspired artwork moves from preparing the soil and planting seeds to gathering, preserving, and enjoying the harvest. Each section was designed especially for Latter-day Saint women who want more than blank lined pages, but do not need one more complicated system demanding their attention.
This printed notebook features sturdy, smooth interior paper and flexible coil binding, so it lies flat while you write and travels easily to church or your favorite study spot.
Let A Harvest of Revelation help you gather the messages the Lord has for you in this season and keep cultivating them long after Conference weekend.

Every notebook comes Conference-ready with a Faith Guides pen, highlighter, cozy socks (colors vary), and access to a collection of digital Conference extras.
