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.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
