This Come Follow Me lesson starts off with the tribute to the king activity. Read Mosiah 7:22 and let the kids do the activity while you explain that the King was taking half of everything the people owned.
Next, read Mosiah 8:19 and let the children color the prophet coloring page as you discuss the blessings that come from having a modern day prophet. Take a wiggle break and sing the song Follow the Prophet.
Use the staying on course airplane cards to sort good and bad decisions and to help discuss how the prophet helps keep us on course. We have also provided a link to a talk by Elder Uchtdorf. Pay attention to the first story about the plane that was off by a few degrees.
We have a lot of fun bonus ideas this week! Talk about being physically and spiritually prepared and complete the activity.
After discussing the small plates let the kids complete the maze to find the plates. There is a harder maze for older children and an easier maze for younger children.
Use the scripture print to help your family learn or memorize a new scripture. Singing songs is a also a good learning tool. Sing some songs that go along with the topic of this week’s lesson. We have provided a few suggestions on your summary page.

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.
