Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 45 | November 4-10 | Mormon 7-9

For the first time, we meet Moroni, the son of the prophet Mormon and one of the last remaining Nephites in the land. After sharing the final words of his father, Moroni testifies of Christ and teaches of the purpose of the Book of Mormon. Like his father, Moroni was committed to following the instruction of the Lord to complete the record of his people.

Moroni knew that the Book of Mormon would be hidden up and revealed in our day. “I speak unto you as if ye were present,” he said, writing these words to each of us, “but behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing” (Mormon 8:35). When we read the Book of Mormon, the efforts of centuries worth of commandment-keeping prophets are in our hands.

This week’s Come Follow Me FHE lessons teaches these principles from the scriptures themselves. Each lesson includes everything you need to make Come, Follow Me fun for your kids!

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

This week, teach your children the chapters of Alma 43-52. You will find an activity book for your children (one for ages 3-6 and one for ages 7+). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge to keep it together. Make one book for each of your children (see lesson for details).

Dare to Do Right

Go & Do Activity

Practice following Moroni’s example of being obedient to the commandments in Mormon 8:1, 3. Help your child see that they can do what is right even if they feel alone. Play the Truth or Dare card game to practice real-life situations with your family. End your night singing “Dare To Do Right,” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 158).

Together to Testify

Scripture Activity

Together, the Book of Mormon and the Bible both testify of Jesus Christ. Read Mormon 7:8-10 and emphasize to your children how knowing stories of the Bible helps strengthen our testimonies of the Book of Mormon. Grab some colored pencils and use the Scripture Stencils to study stories and highlight the similarities of each testament of Christ.

Twin Testaments

Surprise Activity

The Book of Mormon and the Bible goes together like peanut butter and jelly! Mormon 7:8-10 teaches us that even though these records were written in two different parts of the world, they both testify of Christ. Find a muffin tin to play the “We Go Together Like…” game helping your family understand the need for both testaments of Christ.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

This week, we’ll be sharing the gospel with your little ones using the activity book in the Elementary Bundle. Be sure to use the activity book for younger children (Level 1, Recommended for ages 3-6). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge. Make one book for each of your children.

Miracle Snapshot Camera

Hands-On Activity

If people had cameras during Christ’s time on Earth, what would we have pictures of Him doing? Help your child think about this concept by showing your child a camera. Say, “This is a camera. We use it to take pictures of special moments.” Scroll through your camera or photo album to show your child some special moments you have captured of them. Discuss possible pictures we would have of Christ during His time on Earth. Explain how we would probably see Him performing many miracles. Say, “A miracle is a special moment where God shows His power or blesses us.” Encourage them to make connections by sharing experiences of miracles you have seen God manifest in your life. Maybe the way your child came into the world is a miracle itself! Read Mormon 8:24. Make the Miracle Snapshot Camera slider with your child and discuss some of the miracles Jesus performed. On the final image on the film strip, let them draw their own special moment or miracle they have seen from Jesus. Maybe He helps them to not feel scared in the dark, or to be brave when they have to get shots at the doctor. Once they’re finished, let them slide the film through the camera lens and retell about each image. Afterward, go for a walk outside or look around your home and help your child snap pictures of miracles right in front of them!

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

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
