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.
Tell the story of Abraham and Isaac using the cutouts. Tape the cutouts on upside down paper cups. Then sing “Quickly I’ll Obey” (Children’s Songbook pg. 197b). Make a musical instrument using an empty water bottle and dry beans. Place the beans in the water bottle to shake while you sing. You can let your child decorate the water bottle tape and stickers. Share your testimony about how your family is blessed when you obey Heavenly Father’s commandments.
Read about Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19:12-29. Be sure to include the part about Lot’s wife being disobedient and turning into a pillar of salt. Then play hot potato. Talk about how we should “flee” bad situations as fast as we can, just as we try to pass the potato as fast as we can.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
This week you will get to see how we can become better as we are “proven” or “tested” in this life by making “Agency Butter.” This object lesson will help your family see how being “proven” can help us become something better. You will need heavy whipping cream, a mason jar, and a marble. See the full instructions on the Go and Do page in your materials.
Print the “Altar Puzzle”, cut along the lines and put it together as a family. See if your children know what the picture is. Talk about an altar and how people used it in this time period and read the summary together on the back of the puzzle.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, February 1st-28th.

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.
