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.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
