Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 37 | August 31 - September 6

To start this Come Follow Me lesson, learn the song Samuel Tells of Baby Jesus. One way you can learn a new song is to put actions to it.

As a family read the story of Samuel the Lamanite in Helaman 13:1-6. Let the children retell the story using the Samuel the Lamanite Figure and place him on a tower of blocks or rice krispies.

The recipe for your family home evening treat this week is rice krispies. The Book of Mormon recipes for Volume 3 are available are in our shop. If you have a workbook the recipes are included in your digital account.

Discuss as a family what Samuel the Lamanite taught. Read Helaman 4:20-24 and talk about the signs of Christ’s birth and death. Use the Signs of Christ Cut and Paste activity to help children understand what Samuel the Lamanite prophesied.

Explain that just like Samuel the Lamanite warned the people, we have a prophet today to warn us. Sing Follow the Prophet and then let the kids color the Latter-day Prophets Book. End the lesson with your testimony of President Nelson and how he is a prophet of God.

Discuss more about prophets as a bonus activity. Show the children pictures of prophets. These can be Old or New Testament, Book of Mormon, or Latter-day prophets. See how many they can name. Talk about how each of these prophets taught and prophesied of Christ. Let them color the Prophets Teach About Jesus Christ Coloring Page.

Another bonus idea is to talk about warnings and teachings from our prophet today. Use the Warnings and Instructions for our Day Match Activity.

Make the Arrow Craft and discuss ways we can follow our prophet today.

“Comfort Ye My People”

There are stages in life that feel like they go on forever, especially in parenthood: sleepless nights helping kids stay in their own beds, potty training for weeks unending, and running to and from after-school activities. While the privilege of being a parent is a blessing, it can be exhausting just trying to keep up every day. Isaiah taught that when we feel like we have nothing left in us, we should rely on the Lord to give us strength (Isiah 40:29). After all, are we not caring for His children?

“A Marvellous Work and a Wonder”

One could look at the work being done by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today and describe it as “marvelous” and a “wonder” (Isaiah 29:14). With temples across the world, missionaries on nearly every continent, and millions of suffering people relieved by Church aid, it truly is impressive. Yet Isaiah marveled not at the Church itself, but at the healing power of Jesus Christ in the hearts of so many of God’s children. It’s not the temples themselves that are a wonder, but the eternal covenants made inside. It’s not the number of missionaries serving that is a marvelous work, but the individual souls who are being taught by each sister and elder. It’s not the exact dollar amount spent on humanitarian efforts that made Isaiah’s vision great, but the difference made in each life through kindness and giving in the Savior’s name.

“God is My Salvation”

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.
