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.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
