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.

Having the Spirit in our homes is essential to teaching kids the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the prophets Hosea and Joel, we learn that the Lord’s traits include being “gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and… great kindness” (Joel 2:13). If we show these traits as parents, we will create an environment where the Lord will “pour out his spirit” in our lives.
When Daniel stood up to the king and chose to protect his health, he showed incredible faith! This week, you can teach your children that same principle with the interactive Daniel Food Box craft and a batch of simple No-bake Energy Bites. As your family reads Daniel 1, you’ll get to talk about how fueling our bodies with healthy food is a wonderful way to express our devotion and love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Though the captive Israelites didn’t have a temple to worship in Babylon, they still held on to the blessings that came from keeping their covenants. We should teach our children that the temple is a special place, and its blessings can touch every part of our lives!
