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.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
