We had a list of words that we would hear during the talks - like love, spirit, missionary, temple, faith, prayer, etc. Five words at a time for the five treats and they would change for each speaker. The kids listened really hard to get their treats. I was afraid it might be way too much candy and sugar, but for the first session they had only about 10 m&ms. (I cheated a couple of times, like the talk on the temple, I made sure for the word temple, which was said about 77 times, we got cheerios). It was not the most spiritual conference ever for us, but at least the children participated and we ALL enjoyed it, and gained both spiritually and physically.
