Start this Come Follow Me lesson by letting the kids build a tower with legos and blocks. Let them build it as tall as they can. Point out or help them realize that the stronger their foundation is the taller they can build the tower.
Read and study Helaman 5:12 as a family. Use the poster and the handouts to help your family learn or memorize the verse.
Next use the Tool Box with Tools Activity. Let each child pick a tool and read it aloud. Explain that the tool helps us build a strong foundation for a house just like the spiritual tools help us build a strong foundation for our testimony. Each child can make their own tool box if time permits.
Use the warning signs to discuss how we can maintain our sure foundation.
End the lesson with the Lego Snack as a reminder to build a sure foundation.
As a bonus activity read Helaman 5:30 and discuss the still small voice. Use the Holy Ghost Sorting Activity to help children understand things that help invite the spirit.
Another bonus idea is to discuss the pride cycle. Use the Pop The Pride Object Lesson and then complete the Pride Cycle Coloring page.

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
