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.
Jesus wants us to be like a star, by being good examples and shining for others to see. With your child decorate the star prop. Tape a popsicle stick or dowel to the back of the star. Ask your child one way you can be an example to others and write their idea on the star. Sing the song “I Am Like A Star” in the Children’s Songbook and have your child wave their star while they sing. Share how keeping the commandments helps you be an example to others and blesses you with light and truth.
Read D&C 93:9 and discuss how Jesus is the light of the world. You could also do this short object lesson. Light a candle and teach that this is our light. As we follow Christ it burns and glows. When we make bad choices our light can go out or get darker. Place a clear jar over the candle. Let children watch what happens to the light. Teach that just like the jar took away our light, Satan can take away our light too. Then color the “Jesus Is The Light Coloring Page.”
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read D&C 93:11-19. Create the dove craft with your children. You can create the “Paper Plate Dove Craft” included in your materials. Or for older kids, use the QR code on the lesson plan to learn how to make an origami dove.
Before you start cut up the letters from the “Repent Word Scramble.” Lay the letters in a mixed up pile in front of your family. Let them unscramble the word. Read D&C 93:1. Give each person a small piece of paper. Let them write down something they want to repent of. Crumble up the papers and throw them away. Invite each person to go to a private place and pray to Heavenly Father to be forgiven. Return back together and show the “Christ Print.” Teach that if we repent we will see Christ’s face.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, August 1st-31st.

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.
