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.
Show your family a picture of the temple and teach about it being a holy place. Explain that a holy place is a place where we can feel of Heavenly Father’s love and learn more about Him. Read D&C 45:32. Teach that our homes and church buildings are also holy places. Play the “Stand in Holy Places Musical March Game.” Cut out the pictures of the temple, church, and home and place in a circle on the ground. Play some primary songs and let everyone march in a circle. When you stop the music everyone hurries to stand on a holy place. Talk about where each player is standing and how it is a holy place. Repeat the game, taking turns standing in Holy Places. You can add blank paper circles to allow more players.
Read together D&C 45:66. Let everyone complete the “Zion Puzzle.” Discuss the pictures on each piece. Each one represents qualities of Zion. You can learn more about Zion by looking up scriptures in the Topical Guide, read the Bible Dictionary, or look up conference talks.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Show the “Stand Ye In Holy Places Print” and read the scripture together. Discuss what it means to stand in holy places. Create the 3D temple. Let the children use lego people or pictures of themselves to put in and out of the temple as you talk about how we can stand in holy places.
Create the “Christ Will Come Again Tree Craft.” For the winter branches you can use cotton balls or white paint. For spring use pink tissue paper for the spring blossoms. Color the leaves on the summer branches green. Cut out fall colored leaves out of construction paper for the autumn leaves. Read D&C 45:37-38. Discuss that just like there are signs for the changing seasons and there were signs for Christ’s birth and death, today there are signs for when He will come again.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, April 1st-30th.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
