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.

Parenting is not easy. The experiences of Adam and Eve show that being a parent has never been without trials and heartache. Yet through raising their family, they learned true happiness comes as we try to follow Jesus Christ. Eve said without the pain that had happened in her life, she “never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth” (Moses 5:11).
At the start of each new year, parents plan out activities and events for their family to do during the next 12 months. We hope to make happy memories, build our children’s character, and provide a refuge of emotional and spiritual support during hard times that will inevitably come. We want the best for our family and hope that at the end of the year, we will reflect on how good a year it was.
God knew the purpose of His creation before He began His work. As He told Moses, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). That purpose is the “why” for everything God does, including why He loves each of us.
