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.
Place a small treat inside a small paper bag. Then place that paper bag inside a slightly larger bag. Repeat this again 2 more times. Promise your child that you’re going to give them a treat. Let your child open the bags until they find the treat. Teach your child about Abraham and Sarah. Explain that God promised them they would have a child. They didn’t have a child for a really long time but they continued to keep their covenants. They finally had a son when they were almost 100 years old. Bear your testimony that God always keeps his promises and will bless us if we keep our covenants, even if it takes a long time. Then color the “Abraham and Sarah coloring page.”
Let your children “break the code.” Then discuss what you learn from Genesis 13:7-8
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read Genesis 15:1-6. Discuss how Sarah and Abraham’s posterity will be more than the stars. Gather supplies and have fun making popsicle stick stars. You will need popsicle sticks and glue. You can use markers, glitter, string, paint, sequins, and/or pompoms to decorate your star. Follow the instructions on the “Popsicle Stick Star Page.”
Ask your family what it means to be a peacemaker. Talk about what makes someone a peacemaker or a peace breaker as you complete the “Peacemaker, Peace Breaker” cut and paste activity page.
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.
