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.
Show your child things you kept from when they were a baby or show them their baby pictures. Explain that you kept these “records” because it helps you remember when they were little. Heavenly Father has asked us to keep a record. The church keeps a record to help us remember the things Heavenly Father has done for us. We can keep a record by taking pictures and keeping a journal. With your child, complete the “All About Me Page” and display it in your home.
Play the “Still Small Voice Game.” Pick a person to be the seeker and send them out of the room. Hide the image included in your materials somewhere in the room. Bring the seeker back in the room. Start singing the song “Listen, Listen” in the children’s songbook. As the seeker gets closer to the image sing louder. As they get farther away sing quieter. Once the seeker find the image pick someone else to be the seeker. End the lesson by sharing a time when you were guided by the Holy Ghost.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read D&C 86:1-7. Use the “Parable Of The Sower Picture Key” to help children better understand the symbolism in these verses. When you are finished, let each child create the “I Can Be As Wheat Gluing Activity.” Take rice puffs, pop cereal, or wheat kernels and glue it onto the wheat. While doing this discuss how each of you can be a light unto the world.
Read D&C 86:11. Play the “I Can Be A Light To Others Game.” Make a goal of how each person in your family is going to let their light shine to others this week.

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.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
