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.
Sing the song “If You’re Happy” from the Children’s Songbook. Sing it multiple times and add a different action each time. Teach that our bodies are so amazing and can do many things. Heavenly Father has taught us how to care for our bodies by giving us the Word of Wisdom. Make the “My Healthy Body Puppet” and play the guessing game. At the end of the lesson make a fruit smoothie. Share how the Word of Wisdom blesses your life and helps you keep your body healthy.
Have your family perform different actions with their bodies like jumping jacks. Explain that our bodies are God’s gift to us. Create the “Our Bodies Are A Gift From God Craft.” Let each person say two things they are grateful they can do because they have a body.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
SIng the song “The Word of Wisdom” on page 154 of the Children’s Songbook. Then read D&C 89. As you read let children complete the “Word of Wisdom Puzzle.” After completing the puzzle let your children ask any questions they have about any of the elements of the puzzle.
Review what you have learned about the word of wisdom this week. For younger kids use the “Word of Wisdom Sort Page” to cut, sort, and glue the good and bad things for our body. For older kids discuss the quote by Elder Stevenson. He teaches us to plan ahead. Let children make a plan of what they would do in each situation using the “Word of Wisdom Writing Page.”
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, August 1st-31st.

By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
