Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 36 | September 1-7 | Doctrine and Covenants 94-97

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.

From Nephi building a ship to the restoration of the gospel, the Lord has always taught us to put aside what the world would do. When we let go of the world and focus on following the Savior, we will build strong, loving families “like unto the pattern which I [the Lord] have given you” (D&C 97:10).

Come Follow Me FHE lessons include everything you need to make gospel study memorable for your family! Strengthen your children’s love for the Savior’s teachings with our scripture-focused lessons & activities. Start your free trial now!

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

We have some great activities and resources to help assist you in celebrating a Christ-centered Easter this year! We recommend picking the activities that work best for you and your family. We think just a few activities will allow you to celebrate Easter, but also allow you time to focus on our Savior and what He has done for us. Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!

Pure in Heart Hunt!

Scripture Study

As we learn more about the early saints and their lives, we learn that righteous people and places are often called Zion, which means “pure in heart.” Read D&C 97:21 and discuss what it means to have a pure heart and how we can build Zion in our own homes and communities. Go on the Pure in Heart Hunt as a reminder to have a pure and serving heart!

Stained Glass Sidewalk

Hands-On Activity

Read D&C 95:8 where the Lord commands His people to build a temple. Many people helped construct the temple, which included beautiful windows with crushed dishes and china. Create your own stained glass “windows” with sidewalk chalk as a family and share your work!

Surprise Skittles

Surprise Activity

“Many hands make light work” is a common phrase about people working together. In this fun activity, you will see how Zion people who join together can have a big impact. Grab a bag of Skittles and some milk for the Skittles Surprise object lesson that will portray the sentiment above.

The Pure in Heart

Go & Do Activity

Show your child how to make a heart shape with their hands. Read D&C 97:16, 21 and have your child make heart hands when they hear the phrase “pure in heart.” Explain that Jesus taught us that the pure in heart would be blessed. Teach that being pure in heart means that we do things and say things that Jesus would do and say. Discuss the different ways that we can be pure in heart. We can serve others, speak kind words, and follow the teachings of Jesus. When we are pure in heart, we will see God’s influence in our lives and someday we will see Him again. With your child, play the Heart Matching Game. As you play, talk about how we can be pure in heart. Share your thoughts about how we can be pure in heart and see God again someday. With your child, make heart-shaped Rice Krispie treats and share them with friends and family!

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“The Lord Looketh on the Heart”

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.

“My Heart Rejoiceth in the Lord”

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.

“The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer”

What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
