First off, thank you to Sister Linda Sutton for sharing this idea with me. I have modified things a bit, but the general idea is from what she shared with me. Click on the picture, or HERE to get the instructions.
A quick summary of the game is that you assign students to make 4 multiple choice questions while they are watching General Conference. Then when you have seminary, you have the classroom set up like Family Feud and you play with the questions they provided. The instructions give the needed details.
Feel free to stop during the bowl, or after to discuss what inspired them.

Part of our charge as seminary teachers is to teach the words of the living Prophets. And there is no better time for this then General Conference.
Because of our charge to teach the living Prophets, I’ve always given one day of makeup work for every hour they watch (and at least one page of notes for that hour). So all of our students would be able to make up 10 days (or hours) of makeup work in a short period of time. I let young ladies also count watching a notes for the Relief Societ Broadcast or YW Broadcast.
The handout HERE is simply the pictures of all 15 living prophets. Your students should learn to recognize them by sight (in case they run into them on vacation) so this is a fill in the blank for their names. This is fun to do before Conference, and then quiz them again after conference. You can use an overhead projector for this too.
The last handout HERE is a list of interesting facts about all 15 living prophets. This may be best to use before conference to get them excited to watch. Thank you Brother McArthur for sharing some of these!
The next time you have seminary after Conference, and before they turn in their notes, have them share what they liked. If you give them prompts, they will have a lot to share. Those are great seminary lessons. Maybe see who watched the most hours and have a surprise for them.
Here is another great resource. http://www.lds.org/study/prophets-speak-today/what-are-prophets?lang=eng
