We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help achieve our goal.
With your child draw a picture of each family member. Share special characteristics or talents that each person has. Teach that we have a Father in Heaven and we are His children. Sing “I Am A Child of God” (Children’s Songbook pg 2). When we love Heavenly Father we put Him first by keeping His commandments. Read Exodus 20:2. Talk about additional ways to put God first in our lives as you color the coloring page. Share your testimony that we are blessed when we put our Heavenly Father first.
Make an Observe and Serve Poster. Read Exodus 18:13-26 and discuss how Moses observed the needs of those around him and then served them by teaching them about God. Take time to observe needs in your family and how you can serve each other this week. See the Go & Do instruction page in your materials for the full instructions.
Review the ten commandments found in Exodus 20:3-17. Follow the instructions to cut out and fold the Ten Commandments Chatterbox. Take turns selecting one section then see who can name all 10 commandments. Then, cut apart the Ten Commandments Puzzle to review the commandments as you put it back together.
These are just two of the six fun, creative, and engaging activities for this week’s Come Follow Me FHE lesson. See your lesson plan page and materials for more activities and QR codes to videos that go along with what we are learning about this week!
Each week the Come Follow Me Teen Lesson includes 4 discussion questions, a challenge, QR code to a video made by experienced Seminary teachers, and a scripture print to print off and display.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, April 1st-30th.

Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
