Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 18 | April 27-May 3 | Exodus 35-40

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.

Moses’ prayers were answered when the Lord commanded the building of a tabernacle that would prepare them to live with God again one day: “Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy” (Leviticus 19:2). Just as the blessings of the tabernacle promised to change the hearts of the Israelites, so too can the blessings of the temple help us become more Christlike in our own lives.

Break the Code

It’s time to be a code breaker and uncover the secret scripture for this week! Once you complete the Break the Code activity, read Exodus 35:21-22 and share what you learn from it. Display your scripture for the week and strive to live worthy to enter the temple, or ancient tabernacle, one day

Tabernacles and Temples

Hands-On Activity

Read Leviticus 1:1-4 and 3 Nephi 9:19-20, and compare how people of ancient times worshiped in the temple and how we do so now. Share examples of modern-day temple worship, and encourage your children to make choices that will lead them on the covenant path to enter the temple one day. Enjoy the Broken Heart activity and the Tabernacle Puzzle for a fun family night.

Symbols of Sacrifice

Surprise Activity

Learning about ancient scriptural sacrifices can be a challenge, but this week makes it easier with our Sacrifices of the Lord mini book! Print it out and learn together as a family about ancient sacrifices in temples and their symbolic meaning.

“Be Strong and of a Good Courage”

Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.

“Beware Lest Thou Forget the Lord”

Moses taught that faith is best nurtured through the natural rhythms of family life rather than through formal lessons alone. He commanded parents: “Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way” (Deuteronomy 6:7). Integrating gospel conversations into daily activities helps our children guard against “forgetting the Lord” during times of ease and prosperity.

“Rebel Not Ye against the Lord, Neither Fear”

Moses did not have an easy time being the Israelite’s prophet. From constant squabbles amongst the people to outright apostasy against the Lord, there was plenty of drama he had to deal with. As a prophet, Moses knew what the Israelites could be if they stayed faithful. He told Joshua it would be less of a struggle if everyone could see what the Lord had shown him: “would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!” (Numbers 11:29).
