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.

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.
